I'm just across the water from you Rob and I've gone the other way. I've carried two pairs of neoprene gloves for more then a year. The first pair would come off at lunch, to be replaced with the dry second pair. This worked fine until my recent five day trip up to Nanamio. After both pairs of gloves were wet they could not handle the cold. Luckily for me one of my Kiwi friends had an extra pair of Pogies. Without them I don't think I'd have made it. As soon as I got back I bought a pair for myself. Had an enjoyable trip out to Rum Island, only a quarter mile from the USA (Stewart Island), on Sunday. It was so warm I didn't need either Pogies or gloves. Maybe spring has finally arrived. If you're in these waters, or the area, looking for places to paddle give me a call. I'm in the book.
