The lake I go out in is over 480 feet deep so does not freeze. I have tried many things to keep my hands warm including using 3 1/2 mm neoprene mittens inside poggies and my latest attempt was wearing polartec fleese gloves inside water proof latex gloves and using poggies. Hands still froze. Any ideas?<<<<<<< Good drip rings properly placed so your hands stay dry. In the same (dry hands) vein, add some electrical tape to the lower shoulder of the paddle blades in such a way that it both stops the paddle edge from scuffing your deck and directs the flow of water running down the blade edge to separate from the blade edge before the throat of the paddle is reached. If that doesn't do it try looking into treatments for Raynaud's syndrome.
