No bigger city with an skiing outlet nearby (whatever "nearby" means in
Australia ... see Simpsons for references ).

I can't buy online because I prefer to wear the gloves before I buy
them.
I am now leaning on getting Burton gore gloves with the goretex
inserts.
Hopefully they will last.

Yeah, I'd recommend buying them after testing them. Except if you are
into buying/selling several times until the glove fits.

I'm also wondering if any generic brand rather than burton will be
just as good
as long as they have goretex

Hm. I don't think so. GoreTex is just one name on the list of materials
which let vapour pass. More important is how the materials were
processed into the glove. GoreTex won't help if the glove falls apart.

Yeah each brand have different names for their materials. there's all
these names like storm-lite, thinsulate, outlast, durafuse, neoprene
etc. It's hard to compare one with the other. GoreTex is the only
material I know of that has been objectively accepted as being good,
so I always look for it. But one wonders if something better exists,
or something the same but for cheaper
