Hi Kehler,

- Mesh helps for windchill but the durability is shorter.
- Thickness helps, but to much gives cramp.
- Gloves with bended fingers helps an lot for cramps in de underarms
I always go for a mesh glove or mitten where the fingers are bend.
The NPX mitten is the most warm glove I've had.
Love them
Awsome gloves, but they erode quickly. I had holes in them after one season, patched them up with neoprene cement, used them end of this year and time for more patching. That being said, they are worth the effort to patch up.
I'm on my second pair and these gloves are the warmest thing available that works for kiting IMO. I am patching them up with Aquaseal every few weeks but it's worth it and I can get 2 years out of a pair.
NP now has these gloves with their ArmorSkin so the constant patching might be solved now.

Very warm! But i cramp up after 2 minuttes in them, Use the 3/2 mm five finger version which is ok but not great either. Hate gloves.
Dakine 2 mm mittens are good for grip but not super warm though

i wonder if it's worth gluing a strip of old wetsuit to the palmar side of gloves/mittens to help make a more permanent pre-curve and help alleviate some of the strain of gripping...

I have the Xcel "anti-glove", which is basically the same thing as this marigold household rubber glove. It is good from 50*f airtemp to 45*f airtemp. Below 45* air it is way too thin and fingers go numb quickly, above 50* you don't really need gloves. I don't actually recommend the glove because it has such a small usable temp range. Very good flexibility and comfort though.
