eburgess Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I love cold weather paddling and stay nice and warm on the water - except for my hands! I tried Glacier Gloves, but the thumb on one of the gloves ripped the first time I wore them when I gently pushed off a rock I got too close too. I was not impressed that they tore so easily. Then I tried NRS Maverick gloves which I like for the fit, but my fingers get really cold. I know some of you use neoprene mittens - do you like them, do they keep your fingers warmer than the gloves, can you roll easily with them, and can you get your sprayskirt on while wearing them? I'd appreciate any input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob budd Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I've always used Nordic Blue dry gloves. Never torn one. Your results may vary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateHanson Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Have you tried pogies? I find them much warmer than any neoprene gloves I've tried. When it gets colder, I wear both gloves and pogies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Allen Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) Ditto what Nate said on the pogies. I use heavy neoprene ones, mostly because it's easy to get my hands into them. Others swear by the waterproof fabric ones (which may be on my christmas list this year). Benefits are that my hands dry faster, and stay warmer (like being in a mitten). Trade offs are that your hands are unprotected if you are swimming, handling gear etc.bestPhil Edited November 25, 2013 by Phil_Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
