I've got a few pairs; two lobsters for cold weather, but it wasn't that
cold this morning, so I ended up sweating in the gloves.
Halfway through the day, the "set them on the monitor" routine hasn't
made much of a dent in the moisture in the liner, probably because it
can't diffuse through that waterproof exterior (duh!).
How do you dry them?

I have a small fan at work for drying shoes and anything else. The
forced air works very well. Especially in my dry air-conditioned
office.

I reduce the problem by wearing thin silk liner gloves. They absorb
most of the sweat, allowing the main gloves to dry out faster. They
also have the nice property of dramatically cutting down on glove
funk. I suspect it stems from the natural antimicrobial properties of
silk.

I use shell-style gloves in winter. The waterproofing layer is just
a shell, the insulation is a separate liner glove that comes out.
Makes it easier to dry the insulation, and in warmer rain I can wear
just the shells without the liner.

Stuff 'em full of paper towels from the employees washroom...may have to
change once or twice in 6 hr period.

PS: if it's cold, I wear cotton "dusters" inside the lobs. Thin, and *real*
absorbent...easy to dry, too.

I'll have to try that next time. When I got home, I turned the cuffs
inside out -- over the last couple days, that seems to have wicked
most of the moisture out.

Great idea!

I disagree. Get silk liners from an Army/Navy store. Cost=$3. they are
lightweight, warm, and "not cotton."

I stuck a couple of 3" panel fronts [aluminum sticks] into a heating
grate in the ceiling and slide the gloves on. Toasty and dry, no
stuffing, no inside-outies or anything. Much easier.
It's the 8~12 hours of forced dry airflow more than the elevated temp,
per se that does the trick; also gets the figners.
Common sense warning: don't try this with electric baseboard heaters or
space heaters.
