Just wondering how people deal with putting gloves on after they have taken them off (when soaked). My gloves are great when dry and waterproof. However when trying to put them on again they are almost impossible because of the lining (no finger holes anymore).

Muffs stop gloves getting wet enough that your hands are soaked trying to put them back on. Muffs are the answer!
Leather gloves eventually soak up the rain, such that even when they have goretex liners, they still get damp and eventually soggy on the inside. Then the force of pulling them on and off increases the probability of tearing the liner.
When touring in the past without muffs, I bring more than one pair of gloves so that I can swap after the thunderstorm. If I'm riding in continual bad weather, I'll have muffs on. ____________________ Bikes: S1000R, SH350; Exes: Vity 125, PS125, YBR125, ER6f, VFR800, Brutale 920, CB600F, SH300x4
