Yo NS-

so heres my problem, my hands sweat a fuckload. I'm in cold ass montana and i usually wear skinny ass park gloves even on pretty cold days. I'm moving to oregon, where the skiing in substantially warmer and wetter as well. I need a good, thin, waterproof glove that wont make my hands sweat off. Every glove that seems like a good option for waterproofing looks like its always way too damn hot. help me out NS!

what you need is a breathable glove that has a descent waterproof rating. do not get gortex because they are not breathable at all and will make your hand sweaty as balls.
i have these

I had Hestras until someone stole them, would get again. They do get hot when hiking out here though, you might just want to go with two sets an change gloves midday. So wet here it's not a bad idea.

Gore-tex is the most breathable waterproof membrane available. If you've had a bad experience with a "Gore-tex" product, it either wasn't the real thing, or you were wearing it in conditions which were unsuitably warm.

This, I use SethMo Pros and they are the shizz, as mention they can get hot on the uphills, so if you do go for Hestras make sure to get a quality pair of inners/liners so you can take you rip off your gloves so you don't over heat on the uphill
