Thanks for the input everyone.
I know full waterproof is more a dream than a reality when it comes to moto gear. What I'mm looking for is something that won't immediately soak up water when it rains. That is what happens with my Sambas and my Evo Thrux (although the Evo Thrux, being thicker, take longer to soak up). If it is a steady downpour for more than 20 minutes, I'll pull over and wait it out or, if I must continue for some reason, just deal with being soaked. So in short, by "waterproof" I mean what manufacturers tend to market as waterproof (i.e. Gortex and other features), not the dream "absolutely-and-forever-impermeable-to-water-no-matter-the-conditions-and-length-of-exposure" feature that many riders seem forever in search of.
Touring Ted - is there a waterproof Held pair you use and like? The Air n Dry are the most popular and one I've have recommended to me, but they seem a bit weird with the two different chambers concept.
