Shopping for warmer gloves

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 90 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
If you need a 5mm glove or thicker... Your only real warmer choice is a 3-finger lobster glove or a no-finger mitt.

I have 6mm gloves and the fingers just freeze when the water is cold enough to need more than a 3mm glove.

The mitts are warm, but limited agility. 3-finger is a compromise.
 
I might be able to get by with a bit thinner gloves, I'm not sure if I could do what I need to in a 3 finger let alone a mitt.
The gloves I have now aren't very good, but they were cheap :) just had a look and they're 1.5 mm, the one I linked comes in a 3.5mm and they're unlined so they should be warm. I'll give them a try, the mean water temp here is a balmy 8.8C/48F so they oughta do.

Thanks
