I am looking for a new pair of gloves that are waterproof, breathable and most importantly tight fitting. I heard that sealskins are reliable. Has anyone tried these or can you recommend something?

I settled on the mitten type glove. Where they fold, so you can fish with your finger exposed and then put them in the mitten to warm-up. Whatever gloves I found with covered fingers made casting tough. The ones that just uncovered the one finger I also did not like. Going to look for the ones you mentioned tonight.
White Water Monty 2.00 (WWM)
Future Long Islander (ASAP)
Some of the reviews below. What would you think after reading them? I won't buy them. I like the wool fingerless gloves, similar to what Monty said. The only drawback to the wool is after you get it wet you're done. I don't fish much in the cold anyway, so the wool ones are good enough for me, and cheap.
'GREAT MONEY WASTER'Strengths:
Would Burn for longer than most gloves.Weaknesses:
Terrible fit.
Not waterproof, there claims of waterproofness are based on 60secs under 2mm of calm water.
Cold
Difficult to put on.
Pricey seen as you could buy a cheap pair from Wal-mart that would do the job better.
Sweaty.Overall:
I've tried all Sealskin products now (cause i brought them alltogether as a deal) The gloves and the beanie, check my other review, are a total waste of money. The socks are OKish.
'BO.....KS IVE BEEN HAD?'Strengths:
Not sure. Weaknesses:
Dont do what they say they do on the packet. Overall:
Mine stayed dry for about 5 minutes. Then they started leaking. After that they just soaked up the water like blotting paper. I ended up taking them off and putting up with the icy rain.
