I was out paddling yesterday in fairly cold air and a stiff wind. My partner was wearing NRS gloves and I was wearing my old CKS pile line poggies. He ended up dumping and we had to get him back in his boat. My hands got cold when I removed them from the poggies and he couldn't get his sprayskirt on with his gloves on. They fit too tight to reasonably take them off and put them back on. While my hands were cold they still functioned, while his were warm they were not that "handy". Any thoughts/comments on appropriate hand protection? Pros/Cons etc. Nick -- Nick Schade Guillemot Kayaks 824 Thompson St Glastonbury, CT 06033 (860) 659-8847 *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
