Do any of you know of a glove that is breathable? By the time I finish applying to a house my hands are swimming in sweat.

What would be the point of a breathable glove? Gortex MIGHT work as a one way, out for sweat, no poison back, but it would be very spendy, and not all that much better.

How the heck would gortex allow sweat out but not a pesticide inside? Often, a pesticide can be water soluable ..

You may be interested the below listed hot links or something similar. You can insert the cotton gloves inside of the chemical resistant gloves to absorb sweat. Similar sellers are available through a GOOGLE search.

Goretex allegedly lets water vapor OUT, but will not allow liquid water thru, that's why it's used as rain gear.

The pesticides probably contain surfactants to make the water "wetter". Chemical glove manufactures have a chemical compatibility chart to help choose the right glove. Also, the Msds would have recommendations.
I use gloves like the nitrile ones in your 2nd link.
I use 2 pairs and rotate them.
