Title: Good water resistant/waterproof gloves?
Post by: JeffRaines on December 10, 2015, 10:49:16 AM: Right now I'm rocking a pair of Sitka Traverse gloves and while they're not terrible in milder temps/dry conditions, they don't offer much when it starts raining or if its really cold.

What are you guys using for gloves?

Neoprene seems to work also, but my hands get cold and clammy in them.

Waterproof, and some insulation but they are still thin enough I don't feel like my dexterity is significantly diminished. I've had this pair for almost two years, and the only time my hands feel even slightly damp is from sweating.

They are spendy, but if you've spent your life being frustrated by supposedly waterproof gloves that aren't, they may be the solution.

Yeah dry hands is one of those things.. like dry feet, makes a huge difference in comfort level in the field.. Was out last weekend and every 2 steps I would make a fist and get 1/4cup of water from my gloves, hands were all pruned up.. bleh!
