My fingers often get cold too.  I dive in 34 to 45 
degree freshwater (Great Lakes) in a Viking vulcanized
rubber dry suit with the cuff ring system.  Have found
that ski gloves (Thinsulate or Polartec) beneath the
latex gloves work best.  Tried a ski glove battery-
operated heater too which did not help much.  Consider
trying 1/4-inch neoprene wet suit gloves as liners,
but dexterity may be limited.  Leaking has not been a
problem with the cuff ring system in my experience. 
No
matter what, my fingers still get cold after about 30
minutes in 34-degree water.  Good luck.
