One of my canoeing cronies has a medical condition where if his hands
get cold he's liable to pass out when he climbs out of the canoe.  I've
seen this happen a couple of times, it was quite scary the first time.  He 
wears gloves on days the air temperature is below 50 degrees.  He's now got
a large collection of gloves to chose from...

If I'm paddleing, and my hands will be staying dry, I don't usually wear 
gloves until the temperature/wind chill is close to freezing.
