We want a review once you have been out on the water.  And no comments from the peanut gallery (you know who I'm talking about :D).

You got it.  However, I don't know if there will be enough sun Saturday for a proper test. Lol

I have these Exstream foldover mitts.  http://www.tackledirect.com/simms-pg-10703-exstream-foldover-mitt.html

I really like how you can fold part of the thumb back and keep it under a little elastic strap.  I like being able to quickly have my finger tips accessible for tying on and what not.  Those G4 gloves are probably a bit warmer but I don't like having to take off my entire glove to tie on and I am not good enough to do it with gloves on.  

 

I use these for bike riding too.  I've only missed two days riding all winter this year and that was due to ice and snow.  Otherwise I ride 8-12 miles per day during my lunch hour.    Barreling down hill going 20 MPH when it's 14 degrees is quite a wind chill and these gloves work great.

I'm ordering the Simms mask myself.  I have a couple buffs for sun protection but I don't like breathing through them either.  I'm white and never tan, I just burn over and over again until blistered.  Not happenin!!

Donna, you might need an umbrella hat Saturday rather than a sun mask.  Lou Brock from the St. Louis Cardinals sold a bunch of them under the name: Brockabrella.

I've worn Hoo-rag brand (available at Ozarks Extreme Outdoors) for 3 years now. Winter or summer (I wet it in the summer) and it's done the job. They even help with "wind burn" too, either a windy day in the kayak or blasting down the lake at 60mph in my buddy's Skeeter. They help at night with keeping bugs out of your face too.
