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

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.
Brian...Which cuffs do you have? I have seals at the wrists of my semi
dry
top...recommendation?? Removing the liner and using Smart Wool...which
model would be the easiest to put on...if I do that?

the
mid twenties and a water temp of thirty (Minnesota!) btw...My favorite in
my fleet is my Pintail (read your other post on VCP, CD,
P&H)...maneuverable
is an understatement...and pure fun! Dan O
