Taking my CBT in a week and just sizing up gloves. A minefield as I'm sure I don't need to tell you guys. But how can a pair be both waterproof and breathable? Shocked
Also seem to be struggling to find decent palm protection other than a strip of leather here and there. Surely sticking out your hand in the event of a fall is your first reaction.

most stuff claiming to be waterproof isnt.
what kind of gloves are you looking at,what kind of price?
i have some richa ravine. while they are at the cheaper end of whats out there,they are comfy and do the hand covering job quite well.

The materials used like gortex let the air go but water molecules which are bigger not. And it let's water from the inside go out

You are right about the sticking your arm palm protection is extremely important

Buy Halvarssons Supreme gloves. These gloves has been CE level 2 tested for abrasion and tear
