Here in Hot Humid Houston you need gloves to keep the handlebar grips from slipping out of your hands. So even without gloves, the air flow isn't enough on the grasping surfaces to dry up sweat.
At work, I point a mini fan that I use to cool off at the helmet to dry the padding and straps. I place the gloves close to the cooling fan exhaust on my laptop so the warm dry air can dry them.
i have the same issue with my gloves, especially the winter gloves. Yukky smell.
