I'm not sure I'd trust them to be properly waterproof.
Anyway, it appears that this glove hunt may have come to a premature end. I was looking at gloves again and came across

I think they'd also be a bit unwieldy and indeed they only have 0.5 out of 5 for dexterity. And there's only one size and they might be a bit big. But then I found
these, which also seem to offer good cold and wet protection without looking quite as mental:
It's also available in different sizes. On Amazon the few (well, two) ratings it had were both five stars and another glove from the same brand that had more ratings also came out looking quite good. This looked to be the winner, but then...
Someone said to me today "By the way, don't buy any gloves." What? Yes, that means I've got gloves for Christmas. I suppose it's my fault for going on about these gloves to anyone who will listen. But will they have done the required research? And what if it snows before Christmas? I was probably going to order these today, so it was just chance that this person told me not to buy any gloves before I had. I mean, obviously I'm grateful that this person was thinking of me and that I'm getting some gloves for Christmas. But I also do feel like I've just been neutered in some way.
