Can anyone suggest a truly waterproof woman's glove to be used in a downpour, not in snow, that still allows use of the fingers such as buckling large buckles, scooping grain, etc...?

Thanks, Aine

I agree with AC that about the only glove that's really going to be completely waterproof in pouring down rain for hours is probably one of those lovely yellow rubber kitchen gloves. That said, you should be good in quite a bit of rain with some gore tex gloves, here's a few: - http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Hestra-XCR-Short-Glove/HES0092M.html - http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Hestra-Army-Leather-Gore-Tex-XCR-Glove/HES0023M.html - http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Marmot-Randonnee-Glove/MAR0067M.html - http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Norr%F8na-Narvik-Gore-Tex-Short-Glove/NRA0034M.html - http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Black-Diamond-Guide-Glove-Mens/BLD0767M.html There's plenty of other gloves out there as well that use some form of gore-tex for waterproofing, these are just a few. Many of them probably come in a womens version as well, I know the BD Guide glove does.

no glove that has good dexterity will really be waterproof in an extended downpour. try a neoprene glove, it will get wet but will keep warm. I don't see a simple one for sale on this site but check a general sports store. Fishermen and kayakers use them.
