What gloves are best for outdoor work in wet weather?

Gloves ideal for outdoor work in wet weather are those that combine full waterproofing, good breathability, and a rugged build to face mud, rain, and damp climates without letting you down. Our work gloves include our Aquasealz™ membrane meaning they are fully waterproof, windproof, breathable and perfect for dirty conditions.

How do I choose durable work gloves?

Durability in work gloves comes from both the choice of materials and the way they're constructed. Our designs use abrasion-resistant materials (leathers like goatskin, tough synthetics such as polyurethane or PU suede in palm areas) in zones that are exposed to rubbing, impact, or repetitive use. Reinforced stitching, reliable seams, zero-movement liners (which prevent interior layers tearing or bunching), and protective panels over knuckles or palms all contribute to gloves that hold up. The gloves should feel robust yet still allow enough flexibility for handling tools, grip, and finger movement.

What materials keep hands warm while working outdoors?

To retain warmth in cold, wet work-conditions while still protecting and allowing movement, Sealskinz uses a layered approach. Inside layers often include fabrics like merino wool that trap heat while wicking moisture away, which is seen in models like the Twyford glove. Mid layers may use waterproof membranes like Aquasealz™, which stop water coming through, while windproof shells or dense synthetics help reduce heat loss caused by wind. Padding or insulation adds warmth without too much bulk. In short, warm materials are those that trap air, resist moisture, and protect against external elements, all while fitting well enough to let you work with your hands.
