I wear these http://www.uscav.com/Shop/ItemDetail.asp?stk_code=WA17044
when the weather/water is cold. When it gets COLD, I have a pair of
neoprene fishing gloves from Bass Pro Shops. 

The USCav gloves are 1 mm neoprene and very flexible. The others, which
I think are called Aleutian (as if!) are thicker, but still give
adequate control. You lose a little, but paddling with bare cold hands
you lose some control, too.

If anyone wants a really thick pair, I have some NRS gloves I've only
used once that I'd like to part with.
