I've had a pair for about 4 yrs that have not leaked. I keep in my blind bag and mainly use for picking up deaks. Much better than neoprene.

I've had two pair that worked great for a day or two, then started leaking. They don't go well with "actually being used". If you get a pair, keep them in the package and send them back. Just my .02

I own many pairs of gloves

Postby jebster » Sun Dec 10, 2006 7:53 am

Every year I buy 2 or 3 pair of "waterproof" hunting gloves of all types. Over the years, I must have collected 35 to 40 pairs of gloves. Why? Because I am still searching for a pair of "waterproof" gloves that are actually "waterproof". My random survey strongly indicates that a "waterproof" glove simply does not exist....it is one of the great myths of our time.

This industry should be called out for what they are: sham artists.

What about neopreme gloves and wear wool inserts inside or a pair of winter golf gloves as inserts for the neos works well.

I feel the same way, even about the gloves with the so called "gore-tex" inserts. They always leak around the trigger finger or close to the pinky.

Some of the more expensive neoprene gloves seem to be waterproof for quite a while, however, you can't wear them for anything except putting out and picking up decoys. They aren't even good for a 4 wheeler ride.
