Rick,

I wear a variety of fingerless gloves based how the time of year, but I always wear the gloves anytime I am out on the water.

For summer fishing I use either the Sun Glove or the Buff glove made out of cloth and they have leather type palms.

For late fall I use the Simms Windstopper gloves.

For winter, I always take three pair of gloves with me and they are the Simms Windstopper, and a warmer fleece glove with neoprene type palms made by Kenai plus I always take a pair of wool fingerless gloves as well. By the way, those heat packs that react to the moister in the air work really well stuffed inside the glove against the back of your hand as long as you can keep your hand out of the water. That is for really cold fishing down in the 6F to 25F degree range.

Buy yourself a pair that fits your needs and always use them.
