I have a couple pair of neoprene gloves sold for kayaking I bought at REI and a local store that combine neoprene and other fabrics, and both of them leak enough cold water so as to be pretty worthless even in moderately cold weather. They're okay in calm water, but any kind of spray quickly waterlogs them. I also have a pair of solid neoprene gloves I bought for ice fishing that are better, but they seem to abrade too easily, and leave flakes of neoprene. Maybe they're low quality? I'm going to try the suggested rubberized gloves & pile liners; sounds like a very workable solution. I have coated work gloves of the sort sold for handling chemicals that are roomy, flexible and cheap. --mike ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Edelman michael_edelman_at_wayne.edu Wayne State University voice: (313) 577-0742 Computing & Information Technology fax: (313) 577-8787 Academic Computing & Support Services Detroit MI 48070 http://www.pass.wayne.edu/~mje *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net ***************************************************************************
