Interesting to hear people experiencing "waterlogged" neoprene gloves. Neoprene is closed cell stuff and therefore impossible to saturate. The surface may become wet and even retain water in exposed cells of the material, but it can not (as I understand it) go deeper. That is why neoprene is used for such things as scuba suits. Granted there is a variety of grades of neoprene, and you may encounter *cheap* stuff that falls apart more readily than a high quality neoprene (very stuff stuff, actually). Here's an idea: How about neoprene gloves that are slightly large over capilene-style liners? >///:>Chris Hardenbrook<:\\\< Increasingly Cloudy Southern California *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Feb 05 1998 - 09:57:56 PST
