I had a cheap pair for a while but they didn't last long and then
I decided having to get into the cold water just once a year for
usually less than 10 minutes didn't justify buying a new set.

The cold water doesn't bother me all that much. Earlier this winter
when I was playing games with if it was safe to walk on the ice yet
I went through the ice one day in about 3 feet of water and I expected
to very quickly have chattering teeth and other issues, but after the
initial shock it really didn't affect me that much. Obviously if I
didn't get back to the house and warmed up I could have gone into
hypothermia, I'm not an idiot, but it did surprise me that I didn't
have a bigger reaction to it other, than being really annoyed..  B)
