There's a group of us who paddle every Sunday morning on Lake Michigan here in Milwaukee. Sure sometimes it's way too cold, or way too rough given the temperatures, so we go for coffee at a French bakery, but this is very rare. Pogies are the favorite in the group, followed closely by an open palm mitt from Great River Outfitters. I've yet to find a suitable pair of neoprene gloves that actually keep my hands, especially the fingers, as warm. Does anyone know of another open palm mitt out there? Those who are using neoprene gloves, do they keep your fingers warm when the water temp is 32.5 degrees Fahrenheit, and the air temp. is around 0 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit, with some wind thrown in for good measure? I get cold in much less condtions than these with neoprene gloves, but stay warm in my pogies. Happy Holidays to all!
