gortex is the answer.  FXRG gloves are soft as butter and have gortex.  To save a few bucks ski shops have sales this time of year get ones that have a nice gauntlet to cover your sleeve of your heaviest coat.  I have found brand new ones on Ebay for about $25.

Just before my trip to MV I purchased a pair of Held Rainstorm Gloves from Revzilla.com. They are great! I have been looking for a good waterproof glove that can be used in all seasons and are not to bulky. I found them. On my ride up to MV it was in the 80's and in MV some mornings it was in the upper 30's to low 40's. I encountered rain, stoppped to fuel up and it was easy on and off! Good protection and fits, well like a glove. :D I paid $150 and they look like I will get my moneys worth out of them. I also liked that they were not to bulky and worked well with my heated grips...I'm just saying! ;D

FXRG's are great, Held is good but both are pricey and you do not use them often (hopefully). Go to your local Bass Pro shop or Columbia clothing store. Both have excellent water proof (Gortex) gloves. Either winter weight or summer weight. You can get a pretty high end winter type for less than $60 @ Bass Pro. I have the Harley Rain Gloves that I paid $85 for several years ago and they work great although I do spray them with 3M Scotchgard at least once a year. But when you get your hands wet buying gas or whatever you can hardly get them back on and they have no more actual "protection" than the $40 Redhead (Bass Pro House Brand) ones I bought, neither leak, a drop but you can get the Redheads back on without going crazy or the fingers pulling out backwards when you take them off.
FYI - ONLY buy Gortex or similar for bike use, sweating is going to happen and they must breathe or you get just as wet inside the glove as out.
