Waterproof gloves – Komperdell, SealSkinz – know any others?

Whatever you buy, make sure it isn't Sealskinz. See Brett's review and mine, probably under raingear in the reader reviews.
Correction – under clothing – wind and softshell

Thanks Kathleen,
That seems to mirror the REI reviews – sounds like they are made of tissue paper.

More like paper towels!

MLD have some eVent mitts: http://www.mountainlaureldesigns.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=24&products_id=51&osCsid=7d227ecdce68fb20c4db2e0f03a56ab0

Haven't personally tried these but when Brian comes back next month, they are on my list to buy.

I'm still looking as well. Waterproof,, uninsulated, breathable gloves which do not absorb significant ammounts of water.
It is quite possible there are none on the market.

I'm quite sure that Komperdell will release a version of this glove in an entirely unlined form for the spring/summer – and in case not, I'm suggested it to them. They are a best bet for a durable yet moderately light waterproof glove. They are not going to be as light as 1 ounce eVent Mitts, but they will last a heck of a lot longer.

If not Komperdell, than another company using similar material that makes a lot of gear for fast forward sports, like Pearl Izumi.

I bought a pair of Brian's waterproof mitts and have used them half a dozen times this summer/fall. So far they have worked well solo, or as it gets colder, over some cheapie stretch polyester gloves that I use for extra warmth. They got filthy last weekend, so I washed them. I don't know what that's done to the waterproofness. I will check with Brian when he gets back whether I should spray them with waterproofing. I am also thinking of getting the size large (I have the small right now) to go over my winter gloves that are warm but not waterproof.
I also bought a Green Pepper overmitt pattern last week at Seattle Fabrics and some waterproof but NONbreathable fabric to make my own overmitts. I don't need them to breathe, just keep my winter mitts from getting soaked. I finished one last night and it looks promising. I'll finish the other one and test drive them this weekend. We're in mixed snow and rain weather now.

Kathleen,

I would love to read your report of the ULA overmitts after you have tested them again. I have usually found that Nixwax spray is called for after significant useage and washings for other WP/B items.

I won't admit it to anyone that knows me but, I have been known to test waterproof items with a short hike through the shower at home! Be sure and do this when no one else is home!

I used some Nikwax TX Direct to rewaterproof my old Precip. It worked great, just don't be afraid to lay it on heavy. It took me a couple of light treatments to get it to keep from wetting out in some places. Overall, I'm impressed by the results, its a definite improvement.

I use Revivex on lots of things with great results. I just wasn't sure the ULA mitts could survive a trip in the dryer to get the most benefit from the Revivex. I guess I have nothing to lose by trying. Back later with a report!

Hold on. Aren't the ULA mitts silnylon? In that case I don't think they need a DWR…

They aren't silnylon, at least not silnylon that I've ever seen. I'm not sure what they are. They're a grey color with little indentations like mouse bites all over.

Here's what Brian says:
The Mist Overmitt is a basic, no frills mitten suitable for protection in wet conditions. Elasticized wrist, flared cuffs, and a handy mitten hook round out this simple and effective product.

Constructed from an unlined, non-laminate, waterproof- breathable material. Mosquito resistant. Serged seams insure durability and comfort.

Cedar Tree at thepacka.com sells silnylon overmits.

I don't have a pair but looking at pictures the material looks similar to the frog/toggs, rainshield, micropore, etc.

They are the same as Frogg Toggs material. As such, they shouldn't need any DWR treatment.
