After 6 years I have came across a pair of gloves I use all the time now.

Pfanner Stretchflex Fine Grip Gloves which are used by tree surgeons.

Not really but what they are is easy to dry. I buy 30 pairs when I need them because I use them for all work, gutter clearing, joinery, gardening, fencing, PW and all the rest. Always have 3 pairs on dash getting dried when the windscreen heater blowing. When a pair gets wet then I replace with warm pair from dash and place the damp pair there and good to go. Using hot water means hands okay in cold working conditions. What I like about them is they are not clumsy and can write with them on for posting payment cards.

No need for anything more than nitrile gloves all year round for me for hygiene purposes

I use the orange tiger ones that mechanics use. One pair can last 3 or 4 days
price higher/work harder!

Skytec argon for me from October to march.

Those what you have posted  are fine in the dry but totally pointless when its wet you end up going through about 10 pairs a day.

They are horrendous in summer (sweaty hands) and horrendous in winter (cold hands)

They don't get wet. Only need to change when clearing out gutters by hand or plugging into pole and water escapes bar that they are great. Used 2 pair today because I was clearing gutters by hand.

Used to have the true touch gloves underneath my orange grippa  gloves but don't need them now with the Pfanner gloves.

I used skytec argon every winter need 3 or 4 pairs your hands stay dry but the gloves get soaked don't dry on radiator it cracks them in doors dry off naturally.  Also if you just have the one pair after a while they make your hands smell like cheesey feet and it's  a nightmare to wash away that's why I had a few pairs and rotated them.

Hands not cold in winter due to hot water system and warm hose/water.I only wear them in summer on cloudy days so I don't end up with white hands!👍😄

Yes they make your hands sweat a bit but at least they are clean and dry and they don't stink like they do if I wear other gloves.

Each to their own but these work for me when handling hoses all day
price higher/work harder!

How do they get wet? We all use a wfp so they only get wet if raining and I don't work in the rain so they only get wet when clearing out gutters by hand.

I hate those gloves, they get soaked.

I use screwfix orange gloves, they are much better at waterproofing.
