I'm having serious problems paddling this winter with frozen fingers...Aside from pogies, does anyone have suggestions to alleviate wet, frozen fingers? Try Nordic Blue or orange Atlas pvc-coated fish cleaning gloves. Any industrial chandlery down on the "working" side of your local marina should have them. Working meaning the chandleries who cater to fishermen, merchant mariners, longshoremen...not the ones who cater to yachties or recreational fishermen. I have a pair of XXL Atlas gloves...which are the first waterproof gloves I've found large enough to fit my hands. I've been wearing them without any sort of seal, but plan to incorporate a PVC ring/o-ring seal to seal them to the sleeves of my drysuit. Brian Nystrom, I think, has glued latex wrist seals to a pair of Nordic Blues to make his own drygloves. Home Depot also has some cotton-lined, blue PVC coated "chemical resistant" gloves. They should work great, too. They just didn't have my size. :( I had been using a pair of neoprene gloves from WalMart. You apparently have to buy these in August or September. Now that it's winter, they're all out of stock, and the spring sporting goods are in. Shawn __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
