Any larger makes out there that will accommodate a liner for an >average guys hand size? I tried that and found that a dishwashing glove over a liner was too warm. The dishwashing glove alone was plenty. I do not recall the air and water temps, but I was WW boating in North Georgia in the winter. If you need more insulation, I'd go for a fairly skinny liner unless you're going to be out among the floes with Greg and Harvey. A heavy knit puts a lot of squishy fabric between you and the paddle shaft, and I find I can't get the precision I'd like. Sort of like putting softer bushings on your car's front suspension.
