Real leather gloves shouldn't get wet. They should be pretty water resistant.

I've got some hestra anthony boronowskis are they are so sick. leather but with a layer of waterproofing in them too. I've only used them for a day, but they kept my hands so warm a dry. quite pricey but worth it if you can get a good deal on em.

Gore-tex are probably warmer and definately drier, but I prefer leather for the dexterity. Also, I live in Australia where the snow's really fucking wet and I don't have too much of a problem with my leather gloves getting wet (unless you're packing snowballs or something), so I think they'd be fine for someone in North America

Gore-Tex is just a waterproof breathable insert in gloves...I rock Dakine Cobra gloves...mostly leather and gore-tex. Love them, thats all I use. Every now and again I rub Nik-Wax on the leather to protect it and keep it supple. Keep my hands warm and 100% dry.

dont look the greateset, but they are warm, leather, and gortex. Ive had tow pairs and will buy a third.

ya Gore-Tex isnt accually the outside of the glove, it just allows sweat to move away from your hand but not let water in. Lots of leather gloves use it too.

 

[JGP.]

yep. sometimes leather gloves will look really wet but your hands will be dry because there is a water proof layer under the leather.

seal skin golves super warm and dry but they smell like fish

I finally got some leather Level gloves this year and man they are so much better than the Dakine non-leather ones. Leather=the best.
