Well, the Waterproof 3 finger jobbies have had their first sea (ko quarry) trial, and I have to way they are some of the warmest gloves in existence.

I actually think they might well be warmer than a dryglove with standard liner. In fact I know they are.

The only trouble, and it is a trouble, is getting them on quickly. They have a thin liner which tends to fold back on itself and stop you getting the warmness as well as you should. What I need is basically someone to hold either side while I slip my hand in.

But evry, very warm. I think they're called Crux, and they're 7mm mitts. I'ev never struggled with dexterity, but I can do all the things I used to be able to do just the same as I did before, so I am very happy.

Digs.

Funny that - I swear by them. I have quite a collection of gloves and I these are the ones that I keep wearing. Easy to put one and take off even when wet, you don't need any assistance to put em on, nice and flexible and they keep my hands warm. I agree that they do flush after a while, but I just get another pair as at that price they are cheap enough to be considered disposable items.
