References and own words

Why we developed these outer gloves
We have tested a variety of rain gloves ourselves during long hikes - and regardless of the material, we have noticed the same problem: the hands get cold, and sooner or later the wetness makes its way through during persistent rain.
DCF is not a breathable material, but it has one crucial advantage - it is completely waterproof and effectively stops the cold rain from penetrating. That makes these gloves perfect for long hikes where you have to expect persistent rainfall.
Many of our Green Belt hiking customers have been asking for a DCF glove like this - and now it's finally here!
For best comfort, we recommend that you use a pair of comfortable liners in the gloves
