Waterproof Work Gloves???

[CumminsPuller]

Any of you guys own/have owned a pair of waterproof work gloves? I need a tough pair of waterproof gloves that can withstand working in the rain, getting dirty, and the seams not coming apart over time. They only need to come up past my wrist. I found a pair at Cabelas but they look pretty thick. But they are the closest to what I am looking for.

I've found that with rubberized type gloves your hands get just as wet because they don't breathe. Pigskin and elkskin gloves can get wet and not turn hard when dry. Never had much luck with gore-tex.

Leaked. Wonder what the guys fishing in Alaska use? There must be something that works good.

Bill, we're tough and use our bare hands ... just kidding! Its hard to say about the glove usage for it seems like every possible type is being used. However, I do see a lot of the light weight gortex style. I'm referring to river fishing and not wintertime commercial ocean fishing. Those guys are in a league all to themselves.

Don't know if these work or not but check out the waterproof insulated pigskin gloves from Gempler's. http://www.gemplers.com The catalog shows a guy with his hands in slushy water.
