Gloves for cold water detecting

Google 31 inch gauntlet gloves for detecting in the water.
I buy the Ansell Scorpio® 09-430. Approx $60/pr.
Hunting suppliers seem to have the best price most of the time.
I bought two pair 6 years ago and still have not worn the first pair out.
Shorter glove for land I have used the Atlas Tem-Res 282.
These gloves have also been glued onto the gauntlet sleeves to replace the hand section of the Ansell 09-430.
Neither of these are tight fitting gloves, if you are looking for great dexterity. But you can handle a coin from the scoop into your pouch while in the water. Both have room for a liner. Layering will increase the resistance to cold.

I use full length trapping gauntlets. A selection can be found here: Trapping Gauntlets
There are other sources, but this source has served me well.

Dive gloves. 3m. Warm ,grippy, snug, somewhat sensitive. $30 any dive shop.

Depends on what you mean by cold. 60's degree water is cold to me but probably laughed at by my Canadian friends. I bought some new tech gloves at a dive/surf shop on my last beach trip and they work great. Get the ones that fit snug enough to keep out any water infiltration.
My wife picked up some boots of the same brand and she loves them. Warm extremities make a huge diff in the Fun Factor.

Its not the cold water as much as the wind on the hands when they're out of the water that's cold...for me.

Once the water drops below 52 degrees best for me to go dry...my drysuit gloves can be reversed and used without the drysuit. Dexterity is as good as thin neoprene gloves.
Below 50 I go completely drysuit n gloves, and blessed I can hunt any water unless it is frozen. Wind is not a factor with these.....

I meant wind on bare hands is colder than the water not the gloves. My dive gloves are warm. Our lake water is about 60, therefore the 3m is good. The ocean temp here is around 52 to 55. Then I would have to go to the 5m which is too thick to feel the coins. I don't like loose, sloppy gloves thats why I use the dive gloves along with a wetsuit 5m.
