I also like pogies, since I require that my fingers are unencumbered for a
different reason than the feel of the paddle. I always wear glasses, and
have you ever tried to spit on the finger of your neoprene glove and then
wipe it on your lens? It doesn't work, but I find that the bare finger
method provides the cheapest and most effective anti-fog available.

For this reason, I prefer to use stiff neoprene pogies made by Snapdragon
in Seattle. These are quite easy to insert that last hand without any
dental gymnastics whatsoever.
