Gloves?
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 |

Thanks in advance...this group always has the best advice as usual....Dan O Neoprene is the best stuff I've found. Those simulated leather palm things get really cold really fast. I have a couple of pairs in 2mm and 3 mm thicknesses, depending on the temps. The key is to wear the thinnest gloves possible to stay warm. Excess neoprene between your hands and the paddle feels like paddling in boxing gloves; you can't get good finesse on the paddle. I have some Aleutian brand gloves from Bass Pro Shop that work pretty well. I like some of the NRSs, too. Or...really cheap and really warm: poly glove liners under dishwashing gloves.

OK....guys! They must not only keep my hands warm and dry on the way to
church...or out planting trees...but I also need the dexterity to load and fire my Bushmaster .223 (30 round clips) ...Is that better Galen?? Dan O "Galen Hekhuis" wrote in message ...

No. You need to use them for politics too, somehow. Besides, you mention using them going to church. That isn't hardly enough. Which church? And how did the congregation vote?

Or...really cheap and really warm: poly glove liners under dishwashing gloves. ==================== I had a pair of neo-cons, I mean neoprenes that worked well. They were fairly thick but they had a kind pre-bent grip to them so it was easy to hold a paddle. I can't remember what kind they were, and haven't found the same thing yet. I left them at take out. Worked great in cold weather. I think I forgot them because they got covered in snow last day of last trip last year. If you find them on the Black River in Quebec, let us know what kind they were!
