Re: Glacier Gloves Aleutian replacements

I have tried several pairs of the Wal-Mart neoprene gloves and didn't like them for paddling: 1) too thick so you have to take them off to operate a camera etc 2) the seams are not flat and tend to be uncomfortable 3) the fabric out construction wets and evaporates making them colder than thinner skin out gloves... BUT they are CHEAP

: Amongst my glove collection I would like to alert paddlers to
: Walmart Hunting section neoprene gloves. About $6. Totally
: waterproof and just like Rusty describes, you will have to fix
: leaks over time but just buy a new pair each year. I also use
: NRS Mitts and over mitts too depending on the wind. If it's no
: too bad, I use Chota gloves too which I like.

: Here's some reviews (probably written by Chota)
