OK, I am tired of buying kayaking gloves that leak like sieves and are miserably cold. My fingers were aching today! I have have tried two sets of NRS and hate both. So no more NRS gloves for me.

Reading through some back posts on another forum and saw a crazy idea but I think I am going to try it. White-water guy said he gave up and was using a thin poly or some sort of glove liner and then wearing good kitchen/dish washing gloves over that. He slipped the dry suit seals over the gloves to keep the water out. He was saying they worked perfect and keep his hands totally dry.

Sounds like it was worth trying but anyone else ever heard of tried this? Almost sounds to good, but it's cheap to try it.
