Shaped neoprene is great, just make sure that they are going to be
comfortable when wearing for a long time. I have a pair of neoprenes that are
fairly stiff (NRS I believe), and they are actually a bit too stiff for me,
my fingers get cramped after extended use. A friend of mine has a pair
that are shaped, but not as stiff and I find them much for comfortable.

Also, don't forget the best part about shaped neo gloves - Mexican style
wrestling grapples!

On a last note. Could everyone *please* stop cross-posting to Wavelength
and Paddlewise. Some of us really don't have time to delete duplicates all
day long. I was out for a few days and came back to over 700 messages,
primarily from Wavelength.
