DexShell Waterproof Gloves

Stay warm and dry with DexShell waterproof gloves

Keep your hands warm and dry in wet Aussie conditions with DexShell waterproof gloves. The Porelle waterproof-breathable membrane blocks rain and wind while letting heat and moisture escape, so your hands stay comfortable on hikes, bike rides, fishing trips and snow adventures.

How to choose the right waterproof gloves

Waterproof gloves are not one size fits all. The best pair for you depends on how cold it will be, how active you are and whether you need extra grip or dexterity.

  • Hiking and trail walking – Look for lighter waterproof gloves with good breathability so your hands stay dry without overheating on climbs and long walks.
  • Snow trips and alpine conditions – Choose thicker, insulated styles with higher thermal ratings to keep fingers warm in freezing conditions.
  • Bike commuting and everyday use – Slimmer gloves with good bar grip are ideal for riding to work, walking the dog or standing on cold, wet sideline duty.
  • Fishing, kayaking and water sports – Prioritise grip and waterproof protection so you can handle gear confidently in wet conditions.
  • Kids waterproof gloves – Go for warm, easy to put on designs with tough outer shells that can handle snow play and muddy adventures.

If you are between two options, think about how cold you usually get and choose the warmer style if you feel the cold easily.

What makes DexShell waterproof gloves different?

DexShell gloves use a 3 layer construction with a Porelle waterproof-breathable membrane in the middle. The outer layer blocks rain, wind and abrasion, the Porelle membrane keeps water out while letting moisture escape, and the inner layer feels soft and comfortable next to your skin.

This combination means your hands stay warm, dry and protected without that heavy, sweaty feeling you get from non breathable waterproof gloves. Many styles also include:

  • Stretch materials for better fit and dexterity
  • Grippy palms and fingers for handling trekking poles, handlebars and gear
  • Thermal ratings so you can match the glove to your conditions

DexShell waterproof gloves are popular across Australia for hiking, commuting, camping, fishing and winter conditions. Whether you are exploring Tasmania, climbing in Victoria, or cycling through rainy Queensland mornings, these gloves give you the protection and comfort needed for unpredictable weather.

DexShell gloves offer both windproof gloves and thermal gloves but in one, thanks to their Porelle Membrane layer and insulated designs that keep your hands warm even in cold and gusty conditions. This makes them suitable for snow trips, winter camping and exposed alpine trails.
