This is my first kayaking glove. I've been very happy with these and my half finger gloves from Harbinger. I've been having trouble with numbness in my hands. Had this problem before getting gloves and thought they may solve them.
Pros: Protects the palm of your hands. Also this helps in sun protection. Being from California you really have to think about skin cancer risk to all exposed skin.
Cons: None, but they did not solve my numbness problem. My hands don't get as cold, but they still get numb. Will have to check into bent blade paddle to see if that helps... lol

Lastly: Don't wear if you launch from sandy beach into the surf. The sand will get trapped in the gloves. Found this one out the hard way. Now I launch first and put gloves on after I'm in the water...

Nicely designed pair of very affordable gloves... they seem to have gotten this right.... XL a good XL fit... they even have XXL which are huge. Very nice for the money.

I bought these gloves for outrigger canoe paddling. They are a little tight so buy a larger size unless you like them tight. I found them a little stiff and the patches on the palms caused some difficulty with the quick switches required in outrigger paddling. The patches sort of catch as my hand grabs for the top of the paddle. I gave them 4 stars because they seem well made, and will probably last well. I will find some other use for them, maybe sailing.

I purchased a pair of these back in 2006 and have been very happy with them. The gloves have held up well over four seasons of kayaking. They are comfortable and dry rather fast.The gloves do a good job of preventing blisters. They are definitely not for winter kayaking though! I thought they were no longer available so I was glad to see them back on Amazon.
