Over the years I've noticed that everyone prefers something different so
what works for one may not work for another. You have gloves, mitts, and
pogies. I've worn all of them and I prefer pogies. I think making the
decision has much to do with how well your circulation is in your hands and
fingers. Keeping my fingers together worked best for me so that's why the
pogies and the mitts worked. Gloves kept my fingers cold even though I
tried several different kinds. Also, I like to be able to feel the paddle
in my hands. It was always a task each winter to get used to the feel of
gloves on my paddle. I can feel the paddle with pogies on and also could
with the mitts I wore (Chota) since they had a hole in the palm for that.
As for brands one everything check out NRS, Deep See, Chota, and Warmers.
There's more but I can't think of them off the top of my head right now.
Good luck.

for
canoeing in winter weather. natural? synthetics? gloves/mitts? brands?

Thanks.
