Learned my lesson with Dainese

Me too. And Dainese gloves get lousy results in MotoCAP tests for protection: MotoCAP test results for Dainese gloves

Have gone for the Chikaras.

They are Held and Gore-Tex, so I think you'll be very pleased with them.

First use of the Chikaras in proper rain today. They were ste. Will be exchanged.

My son is using a pair commuting daily through the Peak district. He reckons they're great and his hand are always dry. Must be something wrong with your pair.

I bought a pair of these from Cotswold BMW for my trip back to Andorra from the UK a couple of weeks ago when the rain was biblical:

Expensive but excellent.

I've switched to bonded lining/membrane gloves after issues with wet hands and linings. I look for Gore-Grip (previously X-trafit) Outdry, and in the case of Alpinestars, Drystar - but I find you have to search carefully on a glove by glove basis to make sure the linings are fixed.

Strangely, Five Gloves don't mention the bonded lining/insulation/membrane in their range so you need to look carefully there as well. I returned a pair of Knox Zero3 because I assumed the lining was fixed like the Zero2 but it isn't - or felt so weakly fixed that it would quickly detach, as did a new pair of Halversson Beasts.

Held, all my WP gloves have been Held GoreTex and they have been fantastic.

I've been using some Klim Goretex gloves for a couple of years, never had them leak at all. Can't remember the exact model but there are a few depending on your usage.

For winter I got some fantastic Klim Goretex with the whole shebang, but they are too warm, for Autumn/Spring and unfortunately they don't make them anymore, for other seasons I have a set of sealskin gloves (not real seal) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sealskinz-Motorcycle-Glov...

Stupid question, were they the GTX model, (Goretex)
Only asking as chikaras also come non waterproof, hope you got the right ones!

[Tribal Chestnut]

Thanks chaps.

Most definitely the GoreTex ones Andy.

I’ll get them swapped, must just be a Friday afternoon pair.

My Held Twins have been superb for five years now, so I’ve high expectations of these.

Gotta be Rukka Virium gloves. Gore-Tex and proper scaphoid armour too. 2 year warranty IIRC.
