| Pogies are great. They do not need to be super thick because the hand is in a compact position with the fingers all touching each other. The downside of pogies is that they offer no protection if your hands are in the water. Immersed in ice water your hands only have a few minutes until they have no dexterity or strength whatsoever. Bigger hands last longer than smaller hands. But once the hands are cooled too much to function, they are not able to hold a paddle or rope or anything else to save one’s life. So that is the downside of pogies. If you end up immersed in frigid water for whatever reason you have very little time. Personally i use pogies on flat water but gloves or mitts downwind. I find they feel funny for about 5 minutes before I get used to them. | Pogies are great.
