Perfect for inflatable kayaking
My husband and I recently bought inflatable kayaks for paddling the many rivers and lakes near us in SW Colorado. These paddling gloves fit perfectly and add just the right amount of warmth for the chilly spring runoff.

Great Gloves
I use these gloves for dragon boating in California and have never had a problem. I am on pair #2 now since i lost one glove. Comfortable gloves with good grip for paddling.

A Good Glove
good fit ... nonslip grip on paddles, and my fingers were dry and warm

Just what I needed!
Based upon an earlier review, I bought these gloves to use while Dragon Boating in Florida using a carbon fiber paddle. I was primarily concerned with how well they gripped the paddle, and also how well they prevented blisters on my fingers. I am QUITE PLEASED with the gloves, as they work great. I was surprised at how easy they are to take off and put back on, after getting them wet. And they don't seem to get too waterlogged.

Great Feel, Poor Quality
I love the feel of these gloves in use. They are perfect for water temperatures above 62 degrees. But the quality of construction is poor. I had to return for exchange my latest pair after only one month of use due to a tear in the seam, and my first pair tore at the seam after only one season of use. Altrec was great regarding the exchange. Why does NRS continue to make a flawed glove?

Must Have!
Used for dragonboat on a carbon fiber paddle and these absolutely will not let you slip! stretches and fits tight...actually lost one and bought another pair! probably not for cold/severe weather.

Feeble
I bought hese gloves because of the thin material, that I thought would make putting the skirt around a kayak cockpit easier -- but all the seams around the fingers make the glove more clumsy than a thicker pair. Leaks through all the seams. Worst of all, the gloves invert easily when you take them off, and if they're wet, it'll take you 10 minutes to get them on again. Hardly practical for a day of active kayaking. I soon replaced the ones I bought with much better gloves made by LL.Bean and O'Neill.

Seam broke on 2nd use
Gloves seemed effective and fit well the first time I wore them. I really like how grippy the palms are. But when removing them after the second use the seam above the thumb split. I've now got a hole about an inch long running down the side of the glove. Good fit and nice sticky palm but may be a bit too fragile.

Nice glove, mild weather only
Like the fit of the glove. Provided a secure grip on paddle. The advertisement should suggest it as a mild weather glove.
