Hi Dusan and All=0AAnother rule of thumb to keep your hands warm is to wear=
 a warm cap.=0AThe reason is the head gets first call on the warm blood and=
 if the temp=0Agoes down little blood goes to the hands. so your hands will=
 be cold.=0ANot everyone will agree but its their hands which are cold so I=
 don't=0Areally care - LOL=0AGood paddling=0APaul=0A=0A=0A_________________=

inter ski trip gone wrong in the Gaspe a number of years ago, I have more t=
han a passing interest in this topic. I cannot recommend any specific brand=
s, but here are a few rules of thumb:=0A=0A1. Mitts are always warmer than =
gloves, given the same fabric and construction.=0A2. Generally, keep them l=
oose in order to trap more air.=0A3. Keep your core temperature warm, or ev=
en slightly overheated. This will prevent your body from shutting off circu=
lation to your extremities and skin.=0A4. Consider wearing multiple layers,=
 and strip them off if you are too hot. Light wool fingerless gloves or snu=
g silk gloves on the inside (great for fiddling with cameras, scopes, bindi=
ngs), then loose woolen or fleece mitts over them. And, finally, if need be=
, water/wind resistant overmitts.=0A5. For winter canoeing or kayaking, use=
 loose pre-formed (i.e. flexed) neoprene mitts with thin palms, so that you=
 don't need to "fight" to compress the neoprene when gripping the paddle. I=
f need be, you can slip your overmitts or "pogies" over them to retain more=
 heat, or snug silk gloves inside them.=0A=0AAny of the local outdoor store=
s can supply you with the above. Cheers,=0ADusan Soudek =0A=0AP.S. I didn't=
