I bought one off Amazon. Seems like it was around $15-20. They have matching shirts too, but they were like $75 so I passed on the shirt and got some cheaper ones elsewhere. It's nice not having to mess with sunscreen anymore because I despise that oily feeling mess that it gives you. I still keep a little bit on hand for the tip of my nose though since it still gets a little bit of exposure to the sun.

Good point, they will keep your cheeks (the ones on your face) a tad warmer on a cold morning boat ride.

I picked up a couple of the fleeced lined from SA in preparation for next winter, just for that reason.

I got this one two years ago and it's still holding up. I had to have something I could breathe easily with as I can't stand trying to breathe through fabric. I will say they are proud of them. I think I paid around $22 for mine.

+1 for the Simms gear.  Fly fisherman have known they make some quality stuff for a while now.  They also make what I think are the best cold weather fishing gloves out there.  It isn't the cheapest but very dependable quality.

Curious which style gloves you use?

Thanks.

I have these Exstream foldover mitts.  http://www.tackledirect.com/simms-pg-10703-exstream-foldover-mitt.html

I really like how you can fold part of the thumb back and keep it under a little elastic strap.  I like being able to quickly have my finger tips accessible for tying on and what not.  Those G4 gloves are probably a bit warmer but I don't like having to take off my entire glove to tie on and I am not good enough to do it with gloves on.

Got my Gillzmask and sun gloves in yesterday.  Anxious to take 'em for a test drive this weekend.  Mask is unbelievably light and sheer,  but rated SPF 50.

We want a review once you have been out on the water.  And no comments from the peanut gallery (you know who I'm talking about :D).
