Are these pogies nylon or neoprene? I find the neoprene (5mm) often too hot. They certainly insulate and protect from the wind. I've never used nylon, but they should be a good wind barrier; they'd need a liner glove or mit to be warm though. Fuzzy rubber pogies might be an intermediate alternative - do such exist? I think you'd have to experiment a bit. Not everyone has the same circulation in their hands. What's too warm to me might be cold for you! Also, you'd have to consider that with pogies, your hands won't be protected from water temps if you swim. A light glove in a nylon pogie might be a good compromise.
