depends.. if you get the gimmicky bauer gloves with dri fit etc it will wick moisture away, but think about how bad your dri fit shirts smell if you don't wash them after every wear.

goatskin is supposed to be pretty good at preventing bacteria from accumulating, but in time, they prob will start to smell. I like pro gloves where the palms are either nash, or some kind of leather. I will wash my gloves about 1-2 times a year without any issues... soak in bucket of water, aggravated for 5 mins.. then shove them in my front load washer... doesn't seem to damage the fabrics at all. I will generally go through gloves every 2-3 years max
