I also have a pair of Seal skinz waterproof socks and have found them to be quite good in the past. Hence why I was a bit surprised to hear their gloves are not very good, but it seems to be an issue for a number of people so I am not going to risk getting them!I use sealskin socks for golf and they are great for keeping the water out but not the softest of materials.
I've not had to go out in the rain yet, when it started to rain I just turned around and headed home, luckily I was only 10 miles out!
I have very expensive golf waterproofs Galvin Green gore tex and i'm going to use them, not having two sets of waterproofs!
