I've been using gloves only
Posted by: Kocho on Jan-16-13 8:30 PM (EST)

For all my cold weather paddling, mainly white water and some flat water. No issues. The Glacier Gloves I use keep their shape so there is no effort to hold the paddle, I can do what I need to do with them on (e.g., put/remove spray skirt, helmet, nose/ear plugs, drink water, blow my nose ...).

I've been eyeing poggies for durability compared to the Glacier Gloves, but I have no complaints about the gloves otherwise.
