Burton Gore-Tex Support Glove
ALMOST perfect

These were ALMOST everything I was looking for in a glove and more. There's a rubber palm (which should be the most durable and waterproof material available), a slight padding on the lower outside edge area of the palm (to SLIGHTLY cushion impacts), Gore-tex, a little zipper area to slip a hand warmer just in case the temps go extreme, and it's a longer glove that goes under your jacket sleeve. My ONLY gripe is with the so-called wrist protection. There's no way these could save your wrist from a break. It's a thin plastic that you can easily break by hand. I actually broke one of the guards on a slight fall. Get a size larger and individual wrist guards if you want full support. These give a false sense of protection, but everything else about them is perfect.
