I got a pair of ice-fishing mittens for $10, with waterproof rubber shell and fleece insert. The rubber mittens were too short so I sewed and glued neoprene cuffs on, which come half way up my forearms. The outside of the mittens is rough enough to keep a reaaly good grip. Keeps my hands dry and toasty, despite the Raynaulds, when I use a single paddle and can't use pogies.
