He has at least a dozen pairs of 'decent' gloves.....but they're either too easily soaked through, or too bulky for his everyday walk. Great if he's away up a hill in a blizzard, but not really a lot of use in the icy winds, torrential rain and mud that is so often a feature of the daily exercise.
I found a site
Have I mentioned that I have a real liking for comfortable work gloves ?
I buy them by the dozen for myself, and I go through at least a dozen pairs a year. Usually I just buy from Arco, but I found this site looking for the skytec argon gloves that @Kadushu mentioned.

Anyhow, I've bought four different pairs for Himself to try
They'll get used one way or t'other

Not sure I'm of much help here as the gloves I usually get are the framers gloves with the first two fingers and the thumb cut off at the fingertips. That gives protection for the rest of my hand but allows dexterity to pick nails and screws out of a pocket.
If I get them with those fingers full size I still cut them off so those three are in effect fingerless.

Might be too thin for your needs but worth a look anyway. i use MacWet climatec long cuff gloves for shooting and cycling in foul weather.
As dexterity is paramount in these situations.
The climatec backing is windproof and water 'resistant' and adds a layer of warmth. I have cycled in weather down to -2deg in these and been ok.
Also if they do wet-out, i found the climatec kind of acts like a wetsuit material and keeps a layer of warmer moisture next to the skin.
The palms are made of a thin material that is mostly witchcraft. The wetter they get the grippier they get. Sounds weird but actually works.

Got to be worth a try
We'd no joy with the skytec ones. They ended up soaking up so much rain that we wrung them out like a sponge
great in dry-ish weather though, just not up to the downpours.

These are also very good.
With a good dose of nikwax leather waterproofing cream they have served as good winter work gloves for me?
