I prefer pogies that have some stiffness added to the cuff, because otherwise you will need to use your teeth to insert the last hand into its pogie. I personally use the neoprene pogie made by Snap Dragon, which works quite well in PNW rivers -- warm and easy to get on and off. However lately I have been using Salamander's Otter Paw glove, which is very well made and has a nice pre-curved shape. Gloves are warmer than pogies, especially if you ever have to let go of your paddle (e.g. a rescue) but make handling items such as charts and other objects more challenging.
