Can you operate the brake leavers with ease when wearing those? I thought they were fairly thickā¦

Site gloves ?
They aren't up to much.
Except for a couple of times a year when I used to wear ski gloves, I'm still wearing Aldi "summer" gloves from maybe 10 years ago when they actually fitted my monster hands ...- not significantly waterproof, but fine if it isn't hypothermia weather.
It's not nice putting on wet gloves for the return journey so if you can't dry them (as I could on the radiator at work - or more recently hung up in front of a fan in the store room...), maybe have a second pair...
On a long summer cycle ride, I've been known to get drenched but still be fine with modern polyester materials ...

The big trouble with ski gloves - or rather mitts - is the layers slide on each other.

These aren't waterproof but are pretty good. I paid around Ā£20 for them IIRC. Pearl Izumi Cyclone Gel Glove

In my experience when riding motorcycles in the rain- which of course is somewhat different to cycling due to the travel speeds, but stillā¦- thereās no such thing as a truly waterproof garment if itās pissing down heavily enough and the length of the ride is long enough. Or at least, not one you could wear for prolonged periods of time without steam boiling yourself.

I have Sealskinz mtb gloves, they are good but hot. So have some Troy Lee Air gloves for the summer, nice and cool. Sadly my knuckles are stung to buggery as they let the nettle stings through as well as the airā¦
