My vote is on the NRS Toaster Mitts - http://www.nrsweb.com/shop/product.asp?pfid=24472

Finger gloves are useless in frigid water. I paddle year round here in Newfoundland where the salt water runs from 1 degree Celsius in winter to about 13 in summer. Actually, your hands can almost get too warm - even during winter paddling. But I'd rather have too warm as opposed to numbing cold with no use of the digits!!

I also paddle GP exclusively.

Just my 2 cents!!
