My own experience with Gatorskins has been they are not nearly a good in wet condition compared to 4-Seasons. However I have to take exception that Duranos have superior wet weather handling. A few months ago I reviewed 28-406 Duranos on another website.

“I’ve been living for the last few months in a rainy area on the rainy side of the Island of Hawai’i, my Duranos are not all that great on slick roads. When riding over mud or moss they are skating on ice. Pretty much the same on sand and fine gravel. On dry roads they are great at all speeds . . .”

I should note since I got the Duranos, Schwalbe has redesign them with the DD model seemingly incorporating many of the design characteristics of the Gatorskin. If anyone is using them please chime in.
