waterproof gloves

Moisture-resistant hand coverings

Waterproof gloves are hand coverings made from or treated with materials that prevent water from penetrating to the skin.

They're used for activities where hands must stay dry—fishing, dishwashing, winter sports, or working in rain: I need waterproof gloves for kayaking.

The term often appears in product descriptions distinguishing them from merely water-resistant options.
