Recommend good gloves?

Define weather proof? There are lots of differant kinds of weather. 

I use different weather proof gloves for cold weather. I use an insulated waterproof glove with a Cordura type shell for waterfowling. I also like a gauntlet because going past the stretch collar of a shorter gloves stinks when picking up the decoys.
For big game I use both wool and fleece type waterproof gloves. They are more quiet than the fowling gloves.
You can find both at the big outdoor stores here in S.E. MI. I have started using some of Dick and Jims house brands again. I find that their sizing is truer than it used to be, i.e. an XL is an XL and not an L in reality. Also the quality of the stitching has improved from many years past, no more single stitching. Their gloves and the Columbias are both good.
Columbia also has an outlet store at Birch Run that has some very good prices.

 I always wear Thinsulate-lined elkskin gloves for deer hunting. They are quite warm, flexible and quiet, and protect from thorns without hanging up in them, but they aren't  very waterproof.

Nice suggestions Wes!!

I wasn't sure we could mention the name, so... at the same place....

GORE-TEX® MT050 Whitetail Extreme Shooting Gloves

(xx) = this number isn't as important. It changes with each catalog, on-line, etc.

SWFA doesnt sell any gloves so I dont see it as a conflict.   It is that time of year to need warm clothes and boots.
