Ok, so anyone who consistently rocks a pogie/glove combo wanna sling me their spare pogie for a good price? :lol:

BTW thanks for all the helpful input. I love this community!
Peace Pow and Paddling!

We've dealt with this issue by aqua-sealing latex cuffs onto industrial rubber gloves. They're tougher than latex. You can add whatever fleece gloves inside as you wish for warmth. PM me for pix.

I've seen a company in the UK which makes those as a stock item, with an unlined and fleece lined option

They look a little ungainly for paddling, but for things like rope handling or working in the water they'd be the bomb.
