Those look like they're neoprene. I bought a pair of Gil neoprene gloves, and they were a complete waste of money. They are waterproof so they don't let any moisture OUT. By the time I get to work, even if I wear them when it's not raining, I can take them off and pour out a nice pool of sweat. They're still a bit warm but not great, and they're clammy and gross, plus I have no idea how to clean them.
Do the Reactor gloves do that?
