Are most people just adapting kayak pogies to C1? I guess I'll just look at getting some NRS Mambas...
If they had them when I bought mine I would have got the fleece lined but I have used mine down to about 25 and my hands stayed warm. And mine are made for a tee grip, the one for the shaft is the same as for kayaks. Got mine from NOC, but Mnt surf wasn't up at the time I would check with them first.
See ya @ ALF

I was at Riversports in Knoxville today, the had at least 2 pair of canoe specific pogies hanging on the rack, One was made by Snapdragon and the other kind was Rapidstyle I think? I like the Snapdragon ones the best.

Matt, I never wear the pogie for the T-grip hand unless its Super duper cold and windy, so next time you paddle past a Kayaker just yank one of his paddle and paddle like hades.
Then you'll have one for your Low hand or shaft hand !
Snap Dragon is great

They are shorter so if you need to get them off quickly it can happen
