Default Gloves for long distance Canoeing?

I'd say a better approach is to toughen up your hands so you don't get
the blisters. To do that just go paddling, but start on shorter trips
and build up.

If you wear gloves the whole time you'll end up with very little cold
resistance come the cooler days.
