These are a good buy.  They are quite water resistant.  I turned them inside out which was a challenge as they are stiff, and applied seam sealer.  After that I haven't had ANY water get in the gloves.  I use them hiking and their long sleeve allows me to put them over my forearm quite far lessening rain coming in.  They are also very light.  On the downside the vinyl outside is quite stiff.  If they were more supple I would put them under my jacket sleeve but they won't work that way.  Overall I'm happy using these when hiking or walking the dogs in the rain.
