I dive henderson titanium 3mm with the kevlar fingernails.

couple weeks ago I went high altitude to dive cold water and wanted thicker gloves. I bought pinnacle 5mm with merrano wool and I LOVE them. they are very soft and flexy. they do not have much barnacle protection which is why I am only going to use them in freezing freshwater.
 
Im using the OS system dryglove kit with orange nylon gloves and REI fleece liners. I must say I love diving with dry hands. It has had a pretty big effect on my overall comfort level. It is not that diving wet hands was bad it is just this is much better. I got mine at Seattle Fishermans Supply. I saw the same gloves and liners at my LDS this weekend for $80. Thats just the gloves! I would look at the OS or Viking bayonet systems. I started with the Blue "smurf" gloves but have moved to the orange higher dexterity gloves. You can purchase a glove ring system for about $90 and the gloves and liners can be had for about $8 for both.
 
A year or 2 ago I bought up all the gloves the US Poseidon distributor had, they were switching models & they liquidated the remaining stock pretty cheap.
The 5mm were so comfy that I typed up the "For Sale" ad that I posted while wearing the gloves.
The gloves were a couple sizes too small for me too.
You might want to do a search in the classifieds here (or maybe it was the DecoStop...)
What size hands do you have, there may be a straggler hiding out in the shop?

For chilly diving I like to use Henderson Hyperstretch 5-finger 7mil gloves....great fit and grip. Good for watering in the upper 30's. :D
