Has anyone tried or tested the fleece-lined, elbow length, 3 mm thick, Hodgman gloves? http://www.hodgman.com/pages/catalog/accessories/accessFS.html Yesterday I took Paddlewise contributors' advice and went to Home Depot to buy a pair of elbow-length, rubber (neoprene), black gloves. although these seem to appear waterproof, they are NOT very thick, so a liner would be necessary for the cold. Trouble is, even the extra large would be small for my hand, and quite tight with a light liner. My wife uses a pair of Hodgman gloves for hunting and they appear to be sufficiently thick for warmth. But, no matter where I look, I can't seem to locate these gloves. Yes, I can find many sites with Hodgman hunting clothing (those sites listed as dealers on Hodgman's own site), but none have the gloves displayed for sale. Any insights are appreciated.

If you use these gloves and go for a swim, does water get inside?

I haven't used those gloves in particular, but if they fit tightly enough to be useful, (1) not much water can get in, (b) it'll warm up rapidly, as in a wetsuit, and (III) your hands will be wet from perspiration anyway.
