I used the Warmers gloves that mastertangler linked above last trip and I liked them a lot. Added a touch of warmth and grip and protected me from friction hot spots while paddling. Have not tried the wool finger-less, but I am fully on board with wool for everything else, so why not gloves?!?!

If it's cold I wear some cold weather golf gloves. They work great. Warmer weather while paddling I wear fingerless bicycle gloves. Cost maybe $9 at Wal Mart.

If it's cold XC ski gloves or cycling winter gloves will work

Most sealed neoprene duck gloves are fairly stiff in the fingers. These are woven polyester and have waterproof membrane. They allow easy finger motion and also have rubber grippies on the palms. I can't speak to the durability, but I've used them successfully for cold water (31deg water) paddling on Lake Superior this spring. At $20 they're not expensive.

Want whatever gloves you get to suddenly feel like much warmer gloves? Get a good wrist warmer. I've linked an image below but you don't have to get those same ones. I have some brand I got from somewhere way back and they make a HUGE difference. Enough to where sometimes I can just wear a pair of gloves that block the wind a bit and I'm good.

I bought a pair of wrist warmers at Canoecopia this year and plan to take them for my early Sept. trip. I also bring a pair of soft leather gloves for handling wood and stuff. I've slept with these on too and they are very comfortable. Deerskin work gloves

quote ParkerMag: "I like the fingerless ragg wool gloves." +1....that's what I wear if I ever wear gloves while paddling. I just need gloves for warmth. Wool stays warm when wet.

I've had good results with fleece mittens that have the flip-off finger/thumb. Easy to wring out when they get wet, and fairly warm even when damp. Easy to expose fingers for fine work, then cover 'em up again when done.

Yup this is totally the way to go unless its really cold out. I have several different pairs including "warmers" which have neoprene. I also have a pair of fingerless gloves ("fighting" gloves for offshore fishing) for handling braided fishing line and a pair of fleece fingerless gloves for the morning breakfast / coffee which keeps skeets off my hands.
I have noticed if you keep the majority of your hands covered the tips seldom get cold and you still have complete usage.
Warmers fingerless
Decent price.

I consider gloves a necessity and wear them every.single.day, even when temps are hot.
having said that....
I just use leather shell gloves from army surplus. They do get wet, but do a surprisingly good job of keeping my hands 'warm enough'. They are great at blocking the wind, and more importantly protect them from dings and nicks. Mine have a loop that I can use to carabiner to my belt so they are always on me.
I dont fish so manipulating very small objects isn't a concern for me.

For cold weather fishing I get fleece gloves and cut the end off the thumb and index finger.

I have some soft black gloves that I thought were kayaking gloves, but I just searched for them on REI and their kayaking gloves don't look like mine. My gloves are water resistant, slightly fleecy inside, and have finger tip pads that allow me to use a phone or whatever. I like them so much on trips I now just use them as my winter gloves. They're really warm, my daughter and I did a November BWCA trip last year and I was fine.

i packed a couple pairs of thin nitrile coated work gloves from costco just in case and ended up preferring them over my neoprene NRS paddle gloves. Probably not good if it's very cold out but for the days when just a little extra is needed i like them. A pleasant surprise. Snug fit is best. The price is right too.

Wow. We used something similar as kids on the farm. Mom chopped up old socks that were too far shot to darn anymore. I recently did the same for winter running.

What are some fairly warm gloves that still give you some dexterity?
