I have a pair of those arm length rubber gloves from Halford's for working in water and they are just not cutting it with keeping my fingers warm, even with wool gloves underneath. I was wondering what you other fellas are using when working in and around freezing water. Is there something on the market that'll keep your hands dry and provide a reasonable amount of warmth or do I need to swap gloves out as I need them? Thanks.

I ve used insulated neoprene decoy retriveing gloves before....they are warm.
I've been trying to figure this one out as well. I too use the Bemac's with a set of MEC wool gloves. Last year I put some warm packs in and it helped considerably.
Neoprene is fine if you leave them on all day but it traps moisture,so if you take them off for awhile/put them in a pocket/pack,they will be icy cold if not frozen stiff when you try to put them on again.
Shoulder length with wool liners is best I've found,wear them as needed and if you get cold swap for mitts for awhile.
Just like grinr said Dave. Wear the long rubber gloves while actually setting then switch out to heavy mits as soon as your done. I just throw the gloves in the pail after hitting them on the grass a few times to knock the water off. This has worked well for me and my hands get cold terribly fast now. Froze them once too many times when I was younger.
