Werner versus AT versus Mitchell WW kayak paddles

[Monsoon]

Just wanted anyone and everyones opinion on the these three brands of paddle.
OR any other brand that might be worth a look.

I know most people use the Werners. I have seen a handful of AT's, and zero Mitchells.
I am looking really hard a the Carbon fiber Werner Sherpa, but could stand to research others base on comments here.

Thanks guys!

Lots of Werner paddles in Arkansas alright. No issues with any as far as I know. Mitchell makes a good paddle. I don't think they are tough enough for bashing rocks with. They are beautiful, well constructed paddles. Their are a lot of A.T. paddles out there. I hear of more of them leaking water into the shaft or having little bits moving about inside the shaft. Some make a pop or creak from the center where they are joined together. Ida know.
I also started paddling with a thirty degree offset paddle fourteen years ago, when I ordered my first custom length and offset paddle. For years I got razzed for paddling with such a short paddle, a 196cm. I just told em I didn't paddle much anymore, so I didn't need much of a paddle.
Now by the current days standards, it's a little longer than most. Oh well.
I hope you get your stuff together before all the water goes away.
Good luck.

Personally, I prefer AT whitewater paddles for the feel of the bent shaft. You can't go wrong with a Werner though.

I like the Werner bent shaft off set much better than the AT - had a couple AT's and for me the AT design just does not feel right

The Werner bent shaft design feels much better to me

Just my opinion

I have a werner double d foam blade bent shaft paddle and it is a great feeling paddle - my bent shaft design of choice

I mostly paddle straight shaft paddles just because they seem to work better all around for me

You cannot go wrong with a Werner paddle these days as they are the quality manufacturer these days
