How do you where your gloves?

I have been out shopping for some waterproof cold weather gloves. I have allways worn traditional gauntlet style gloves durring the cold season.
I have a new FirstGear Kilimanjaro jacket and it is quite bulky at the cuffs and I'm haveing a hard time finding a modern glove that I can get over the jacket cuff with the other glove on.

One of the sales people recomended that I wear a short glove with the jacket cuff tight as this would be more waterproof without the water running down my arm into the gauntlet. This is opposite to the way I have allways thought. I have allways tried to stop the wind and rain from blowing up my arms.

What do you guys do?

Bullshit !
Find a gauntlet glove that will fit over the coat sleeve.

My Held's have pretty big gauntlets.

The sale's person is right that it's a problem either way: jacket over glove wind and water can run up your arm - glove over jacket water can run down inside your glove. If I have to choose between water and wind AND water, I'll take the water. At least with a gauntlet I'm not fighting a 70 mph wind trying to force the water in.

Say, these are rubberized and are the gauntlet type.
And are safety color. Perfect....

Gee thanks Randy, I'm sure Timo will be along shortly with a welding glove solution as well.

I too am looking for moe betta winter gloves. Help me decide please. One thing about gauntlets, and water down the sleeve: your handle bar height can have a big effect on this situation. If your bars are racerboy low. then water will drip down. If the gloves sit close to horizontal, you probably won't have a problem.

These look good and have a free replacement warranty if you fall off.
