What do you all use for gloves in constant wet weather that has dexterity. I hunt the rain forests on the Olympic peninsula and gloves are the one piece of clothing I have yet to figure out. Thanks Scott
I think these are my favorite glove, period. They are water "resistant", block wind extremely well, and are more durable than most. Mine have enough holes that I need to replace them, but I've been using them since 2011 in the spring and fall.
Gloves are fairly disposable, IME. I like the chilly grips, I just hate buying pair after pair. This time of year my hands have been brutalized enough that they don't hurt anymore, and gloves ain't necessary.
I have been using the Patagonia R1 gloves for the past couple years for cold weather fishing, and I've been relatively happy with them. They are made from thin, stretchy, 1.5 mm neoprene with a hint of polypro lining.
With that said, these gloves suck like all other gloves I've tried for hunting/fishing, but they suck less than most for me.
In order to maintain dexterity, the neoprene has no outer shell or covering, and so I suspect they would not hold up to brush.
for applications of DC, I like the leather treated with beeswax.
for hunting where DC is absent,but inclement weather is not I tend to favor wool gloves
as an aside, I find it interesting the similarities in DC, District of Columbia and Devils Club
both make your life miserable due to all the pricks they contain

I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
I use the Glacier gloves (Neoprene) They are cheap , so the fact that they don't last too long doesn't bug me too much. I just toss them and get another pair when they give up.
