Aquaskinz Gloves
I recently purchased the aquaskinz gloves and have already had a problem with water seeping through on the fingers. Has anyone else had a problem with the gloves yet? Does anyone know what aquaskinz return policy is?

i had a pair that i used for a couple hours on a windy 40 degree day. my hands froze. almost as bad as no gloves at all. i got a pair of glacier's from pete at the edge. the first finger and thumb flip open for rigging, casting etc. i've used them at temps below freezing and have had no problems keeping my hands warm. i fish a conventional so my thumbs are almost always exposed the rest of my hand stays warm enough that it hasn't been a problem.

they're not waterproof, they will warm up with body heat when wet. for cold and wet conditions i like a pair of thin latex gloves underneath. the perfect glove may be an impossible comprimise. i like the fact that i can do almost anything with these on and they're braid resistant.

Kippy...why don't you contact Kadir himself and get his feelings on the subject. He is always very helpful in these matters. You could e-mail him at Aquaskinz or pm him direct from here...he is Rockhopper I believe.

I bought a previous year model of the NRS Reactor gloves.I love 'em.
But...these also are not waterproof.Most neo gloves aren't anyway.Like afterhours said they work like a wetsuit.Using a waterproof liner underneath works,I find liners uncomfortable though.
Truly waterproof gloves are expensive.The chances of poking holes with hooks or fish spines are pretty likely.Do it while fishing and they aren't waterproof anymore.
