active gloves
 
Any suggestions for an active use glove that has a slightly tacky palm ,
wicks to outer surface, and dries quickly. Would prefer outer surface not be
fleece, some sort of snow shedding material. Temps 0f to 20f. Not really
looking for a really warm gloves , I have a different pair when stopped.

Trouble I had last year was on a multiday trip , the gloves I tried kept my
hands too moist so when pulling hand out of glove to adjust, nearly froze my
hand, and then they didn't seem to dry out so they
always seemed damp when putting on in the am.

Cloudveil is one option, although I've never tried their gloves. Been happy
with the Serendipity jacket.

Thanks for a direction.
Looks like what I was trying to envision.
Read good things about both Schoeller and Cloudveil. Haven't tried anything
yet.

Mammut makes two really nice Schoeller gloves, that have all the
features you're looking for...

Sounds like a XC ski glove could work for you. They usually have fake
leather or something simliar palm to grip the pole, and wicking,
snow-shedding outer.
