Comments about Mountain Hardwear Epic Gloves - Men's:
I've only had these gloves for about a month, but so far I am very happy with them.
I cycle to work year-round - in a rainy climate - and it's been an on-going quest for me to find a pair of lightweight, waterproof gloves that are actually in fact lightweight and waterproof. I've tried some of the other lightweight gloves REI carries that purport to be "weatherproof", like Sealskins and Seirus. But although those stay reasonably dry if you're not really pushing their limits (say, just out walking around on a damp day), once you expose them to continuous wet, like on the handlebars in a steady rain, they soak right through in about 10 minutes.
These Mountain Hardware ones, though, have stayed nice and dry on the inside, even after an hour in a downpour. They're not too hot either - somewhat bulkier than the other ones I mentioned, but certainly not as thick as a ski or mountaineering glove.
In summary, they're not cheap, but for what I use them for they seem to be an excellent choice.
