Or if you want to splash out and get some with better protection these get really good reviews:-

That looks much better. Mine are textile and slowly absorb the water. Eventually it seeps through to your hands and fingers. Then the windblast/chill freezes them off.

found mine on that site

Given the miles you do I think it's worth investing in a good pair. The RST ones are better than the Alpinestar ones I've got.

I gave up on waterproof boots and gloves and went for over gloves, and over boots with a good two piece wet weather set. Has the advantage of being truly waterproof and still having your every day gloves/boots and thus being more economical. I could fit the whole kit under my Daytona seat and use it as necessary.

These are the over gloves http://www.rain-off.com/Buy_Products.php bloody brilliant kit. On my trip to Phillip Island everyone laughed at me when I pulled them out as we hit wet weather. Three days later we got to the island and had torrential rain the whole time. Most of the group asked where I had got them, my kit was bone dry.
Happiness is not a destination. It is a way of life.

Yes, I think a decent set of gloves are also in order. Especially with the dropping temps.

Also tempted by hand guards and heated grips.

I got Hein Gericke too they are 3 finger muffs. I bought them after riding in some silly temperatures and when I got home I was so cold, confused (I couldn't remember how to put my steering lock on the bike) felt very dizzy and when I got in I took my helmet off and passed out for a few minutes! Dad got me to Hein Gericke a couple days later and got me them and they have paid for themselves. Wow what a difference that has made, they are still as good as new like Bratty has mentioned and 100% waterproof handling 675 2014 Wales monsoon storms plus the rest of the winter riding I have done wouldn't have anything else!!
