pogie
n.— «Your hands can be kept comfortably warm with neoprene gloves or pogies. Pogies attach directly to the paddle shaft, forming a water-resistant cocoon. Your bare hand slips into the pogie and grabs the paddle shaft without any barrier to affect your “feel” for the shaft.» —by Jeff Bennett Essential Whitewater Kayaker Mar. 16, 1999.
