Just at a bit of a tangent, Gerbing are a much liked company on the continent and as such have their stuff a lot cheaper than over here. Last year, I managed to get a waterproof armoured jacket and a pair of mesh gloves in Spain from a Yamaha dealership. Only 60 of your British pounds (approx).
Next time your over the water have a look for bargain kit

Bloody greay prices, Shugs. I paid £109.00 for my gloves, lifetime warranty on the electrics and, as Reefer says, they're a great glove even without plugging them in. Plugged in, in freezing temperatures, its actually weird at first, but very, very nice.
