Jackie,
      The Viking/DUI dry glove with liner is definitley warmer and allows
more dexterity than any neoprene. This is the system with attachment rings
that snap under and over latex wrist seal and glove snaps over outer ring.I
use the Patagonia Expedition wt glove liner, excellent product, best
thickness to warmth ratio, and they are amazing in there ability to wick
water away from skin.
 The "dry five" or DUI dry glove that is like a garden glove with built in
fleece liner and attached latex seal works pretty well. My big complaint with
these is if you get them wet it is hard to dry them out and they start to
stink! I prefer the first system.
Regards,
Jerry
