One of my canoeing cronies has a medical condition where if his hands get cold he's liable to pass out when he climbs out of the canoe. I've seen this happen a couple of times, it was quite scary the first time. He wears gloves on days the air temperature is below 50 degrees. He's now got a large collection of gloves to chose from... If I'm paddleing, and my hands will be staying dry, I don't usually wear gloves until the temperature/wind chill is close to freezing. kirk *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed Jan 12 2000 - 05:43:35 PST
