If you hate wearing gloves, yet hate that feeling your hands get when it's super super cold, then check out the Xcel Anti Glove. Roughly the same thickness as a dish glove, these gloves provide just enough coverage to keep your head focused on surfing, not on how cold your hands are. They have great wind resistance, and excellent grip, and will no doubt make you feel like a ninja wearing them, so that's a bonus!
*Note - These gloves will not keep your hands "warm", that is not what they're meant to do. If you want your hands to feel like they're sitting by a fire, invest in some 3mm to 5mm gloves. If you just want to take the edge off the icy water, then these are the gloves for you!
**Note on sizing - These gloves are very flexible, and tend to run a bit small, and we have found you can usually order a size down from your normal glove.
