Glacier Gloves with the velcro tab that hold the index finger and thumb out of the way while you're tying knots work pretty good. They are probably better for you Hobie folks because the neoprene will wear in the palms if you're a paddler.

Those gloves are ok, but the velcro doesn't work very well.

I use them too. My only beef is that my hands often sweat a little in them, then if I take them of for some fine detail work I cant get them back on very easily. Wearing latex gloves under them helps with this but can be a hassle.  They do keep my hands toasty warm

I've been using glacier gloves with nitrile gloves underneath, I bring extra nitrile gloves so I can use two layers of em if necessary. Works pretty good.

I wear wool mittens with the flip up "mitteny" part that converts to a glove.  Nothing I have tried has come close to keeping my hands as war as these.  The are warm when soaking wet.  This was Dec 6, 2011 out of Depoe Bay.

RR,

I got them at Fisherman's. I think they were about $7.99.  They may have been on sale though.  The only downside I have seen so far is that when you eat with them on, you ingest a few wool fibers. :P  But hey, a high fiber diet is recommended, right.

Merino wool trail socks from Costco (get 'em now while they're in season); the pack of four pairs is only about $13 bucks (just about unbeatable), and they're 70% wool.  Merino wool is a super fine fiber so there's no itch, they don't hold an odor, merino wicks moisture 30% faster than synthetics,and as someone mentioned, they retain most of their insulating ability even when wet.  I also second the comment about wearing a liner sock, also merino, but stack the sizes so they don't compress your feet.  Add a comfortable waterproof boot and your feet should stay plenty warm.

These have been my everyday socks for about a month since I found them at CostCo.  Got eight pairs.  Love 'em.
