Ok, after searching seems like most people like FroggToggs and Tourmaster for the Rain Suits. 

But what about gloves?    What are nice waterproof ones?

This may sound stupid, but I use a pair of chemical resistant rubber gloves with about an 8" gauntlet purchased from a farm supply store for under 10 bucks. Ugly? Extremely. Effective? Definitely. The only downside might be a lack of crash protection, but if it's nasty enough to require rain gear, I'm riding very conservatively anyways.

Do you think your fingertips are any less important than you palms?

I still use the waterproof over gloves I bought in 1984, yep that's the correct date.

Riding friends call them my chicken plucker gloves.

I've tried these "chicken pluckers" a few times...



http://www.aerostich.com/rain-glove-covers.html

Now I just have some $50 (or so) newenough.com rain gloves, I like them better
than "over" gloves...

The chicken plucker gloves and the rain gloves are always in my saddlebags...

My "real" gloves are the elkskin gloves that the guy in the picture is covering
with the chicken plucker gloves. Nothing sucks more than rain-saturated thick
leather gloves...

-Mike "OK... maybe rain-saturated leather boots..."

I have the black version but would seriously consider the orange for visability if I ever replace the current ones.

I will just tuck and roll!  Grin
Dude, we dont even wear a helmet!  Evil I doubt they will offer my palms any protection as they have holes in them from many, many road miles. They are comfy tho.
I dress to ride, not crash. I plan on riding, not crashing!  Wink

I have several pairs of winter insulated gauntlets that are waterproof.  The lightest of these stays in the bike all summer.

Similar to these, but brighter orange and without the knit cuffs:



I realize they offer inadequate protection in a crash.  Until I can afford some high-quality waterproof leather gloves, I'm taking the attitude that I'm less likely to crash if my hands are warm, dry, and comfortable than if they're cold and numb.
