Being in the Pacfic Northwest where it rains a lot, I've spent a lot of time trying to waterproof gloves for warmth and/or effectiveness in wet conditions. While, a lot of my efforts have been to try to waterproof leather gloves, I saw the Sealskinz and thought I'd give them a try. I didn't particuarly like them. Basically, the "waterproofing" is a thin layer that isn't going to hold up IMO. Breathable and waterproof are not words that go together IMO.

What I have found that does seem to work (but is not breathable) are scuba gloves. Specifically, waterproof Warmer brand Neoprene gloves.

You can see a picture of them in my kit (kit pics are out of date).
