Any recommendations for a 5mm glove for 45-60 degree water?

I have the deep sea dry comfort glove. They are 4mm thick and have great dexterity. I haven't had a chance to try them yet but have been told they are pretty decent.

I just got the Akona 5MM ArmorTek gloves, but have only used them once. Not fantastic dexterity, but my hands were warm and they offer a little better wear and tear if your chasing bugs

Pinnacle Merino-Karbonflex 4mm

It's merino-lined, so it doesn't need to be as thick to provide warmth.

ST stocks Pinnacle, they should be able to get it in.

[img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img] I'm pretty sure they can get it in. One more thing, when I got the Karbonflex (here in NZ), the shop guy says it's the best gloves for crays! I got them straight after he said that.

I haev XS scuba 5mm ryno-hyde gloves that I like a lot. I am always in 50 deg water and my hands have never been cold... Enough dexterity to work the spring clips on double enders and shoot a bag if need be so they work for me...

45-50 is pushing it, but I always wear 3mm Henderson InstaDry gloves. Nothing comes close in terms of dexterity. 50-60 is no problem for me in those gloves... they're far warmer than most 5mm gloves I've tried.

Note: I've not heard great reports on the 5mm InstaDry gloves. The 3mm ones seem to have hit the sweet spot.

This past weekend, however, I tried dry gloves for the first time. &lt;borat&gt; Very nice! &lt;/borat&gt;

I have weeeeny little hands and I've yet to find a wet glove that either fits properly or keeps me warm.
