For the worst case of wet the syntetics still perform the best, although I like blends of the synthetic with merino wool in them. Wool and silk liners also work but not as efficiently as things like capalene from Pattagonia. The Dachstein boiled wool sheds water at first and are still warm when wet. But the shell usually prevents this. With a synthetic wicking liner you can wring out the wool and your hands will feel almost dry, almost.
In addition to the military gloves check out the mountaineering suppliers as they have put in a lot of research and field testing on their products.
"When you disarm the people, you commence to offend them and show that you distrust them either through cowardice or lack of confidence, and both of these opinions generate hatred." Niccolo Machiavelli
