First of all - pogies! Don't get gloves or mits. I never felt properly
connected to the paddle with gloves on.

The mitts with the open hand solve that particular problem fairly well,
and don't suffer from the pogie's over-connection problem! ;-)

However, they're not nearly as warm. You choose, you lose...

Secondly - get "Suzy 40 Below" pogies, I hope you can still get them as
they work brialliantly. They're little more than a nylon bag with a
reflective silver lining.

I can't remember what mine are and that name doesn't ring any bells at
all... but the overall description fits mine and I've been very pleased
with them: much warmer than I'd anticipated.
