----- Original Message ----- From: Arthur Hebert >>>My problem was my hands partially the fingertips. I was wearing 2mm neoprene gloves, not enough protection. I do own pogies but did not bring them (silly me). I typically do not wear gloves due to the lack of control /feel of the paddle shaft. I have a hard time thinking that the pogies alone would have provided enough protection with the wind chill factor possibly being in the 20's. So my question is what do you cold weather paddlers use to protect your hands in conditions I mentioned above? Obviously I needed more protection. I stay constantly amazed in the winter to discover that Pogies alone are more than adequate for keeping my hands warm... When I do wear gloves alone I find that the looser they are the warmer my hands will be. I suspect that any restriction of circulation is not a good thing. My hands also go cold immediately after lunch, but after a short while are warmer than in the morning...
