This may be off topic (LOL) but does anyone have a favorite brand of very
cold water/airtemp paddling gloves. I bought a pair of Marmot
windproof/water resistant gloves this week..and froze the instant they got
wet. Is neoprene the best...etc? I also have super lightweight
pogies/mambas...so coupled with something else thinner and with tacky grip
may be my goal? Thanks in advance...this group always has the best advice
as usual....Dan O


For air/water temps above 50, I wear 3mm neoprene gloves. I haven't
found much difference between brands and the $15 Stearns gloves are as
good as any. None of them last me more than a season, anyway.

When temps go below 50, I switch to Nordic Blue dry gloves with
Smartwool liners.
