These have been better than neoprene, and very adequate in water - air temperature combinations down to 37 degrees water and 40 degrees air. >> I add latex "first aid" gloves UNDER fleece gloves, which has worked down to about 10F this winter. I do try to avoid a complete dunking under those circumstances though (paddling a folding double). The combination worked well for sailing also (same temps). The only time it briefly got unpleasant for the old stubbies was when the gloves were sopping wet before the outer layer froze solid. Cause: Initially the effect of evaporation, which then stopped once th egloves were frozen! Best regards, Ralph C.
