I do know that short white water style neoprene pogies provide me with sufficient wind protection when the Mississippi River temp is in the lower 30's and a howling wind issues forth from the northern parts to terrorize us Southern gentlemen. The shortness of the device makes re-access easy when my hands've slipped out for fine finger work apart from the paddle and then, again, wish the respite of the gauntlet.
