    I sport the same Filson Wools. I tried fleece but once wet they were pointless. I used to paddle quite a bit and I when i started paddling casually instead of crazy paddling. I switched to wool on most everything. It is just warmer “All day long”. I am the same with socks and a sweater (on real cold days – fleece on a normal day).

    Seriously give the wind river gloves a go.

    I have limited experience with fishing in the freezing cold, but when I have, I have used the Orvis gloves, but recently upgraded to the Simms ones, they are great, but I learnt a few things.

    Put an elastic on each one, attach the elastic to your elbow, then when you need to get your hands all wet, pull the glove off with your teeth, the glove springs up to your elbow, do what you have too. I have a golf towel in my vest; I dry my hands and pull my nice warm, DRY gloves back on. Try it, it works a charm…

    Wear the quick dry, sun gloves under your warm gloves, this wicks the excess water straight out…

    Carry 2 or 3 pairs, try to get gloves that can be worn on either hand, thus you can change them quickly, just stick your hand in your pack and pull any one of them out.

    I wear the Simms gloves as well.

    I like these gloves a lot.  The fold over flap has good and bad points.  It makes them much warmed when walking and standing around, but occasionally the mitten flap will reach out and grab my line while stripping.
