I can show you mine. And well I spent many years around motorcycle road racing. No one I knew ever soaked their gloves. I got caught out in a rain storm. And it not only dyed my hands, but the stitching fell right out a few weeks later.

If you trust your hands on some guys words. I guess... But I would not do it.
Wear them and they will break in over a few rides. If they are too tight now, you might have the wrong size.

I bought the same gloves about a year ago and I've used them in the rain - no problems whatsoever.
