Can anyone recommend a decent goretex type shell glove?
To be worn as part of a glove layering system as the outer layer.
Cheers in advance.
I plan to use them mostly when I'm not exerting myself too much. However I want something that will be easier to dry out when getting wet. Since I have no more trust in any waterproof statements. However my hands do sweat a lot so I would prefer goretex over just a rubber glove.Aardvark wrote:If your not raising your heart rate when you expect to be wearing the shells, then perhaps breathability isn't much of a factor.
It is commonly believed however that 70% of heat loss is through the hands, head and feet. So, there is a good chance that breathability IS a factor.
I wouldn't go past a quality option because it is not something you want to fail if and when you're likely to really need them. Black Diamond or Outdoor Research both have a good range of options. Personally, i prefer a mitt because there is still reasonable dexterity but you're eliminating the need for so much seam sealing which is a likely cost factor and a point of potential wear or failure.

I have a pair of OR shell gloves with a dislocated Goretex liner that you can have to experiment with IF you can be bothered hand tacking the 3 layers back together; XL in size.
