>>2785708that suede is going to drink water. this is why im not as much of a fan of nubuck either even though its better than a suede. nubuck drink waxes and oils easier then a full grain but also purges them at a faster rate and needs conditioning more often.
something like boots or gloves are going to frequently be exposed to water and leather isn't exactly a quick drying material. i will give one exception though. i sometimes use canvas gloves from cowlitz river rigging (cheap, durable, and good enough dexterity) that are like 20-30 oz thick but that's because i'm doing a project that will only be one day or less and can either use another pair the next day or don't mind the cold that much. if i was camping though, i'd never go with either option however.
leather gloves are meant to protect your hand. i just would buy packs from costco
https://www.costco.com/s?dept=All&keyword=wells+lamontthere's some people that try to spend an arm and a leg to buy specialty leather that would cost more for 1 then the 6 pack at costco. if you want warmth though you could also just buy a fleece liner glove to wear inside leather. i've always had good luck with polartec fleece as they are the ones that started fleece with martin mills (old name) and pataguccia.
but if you want a magical leather look at bison. i've had some luck with kangaroo too for a thinner leather. once the outside breaks though it is usually fucked. Shark skin's the most durable leather i've ever handled, but I don't think anyone makes gloves with them.
