Too many seams for me, but my cousin likes them!

These gloves have lots of seams which I was concerned would rub and give me blisters and a longer cuff than I like. Halfway through our paddle, my cousin borrowed them and he loved them! They are now part of his gear. I will continue my search. Try them on.

Poor design and workmanship

11 months ago

I purchased this glove for kayaking and it wore through between the thumb and first finger on the first day. Very disappointing . I recommend you do not buy this glove and REI should delist it.

Excellent gloves for rowing

2 years ago

Bought these to replace Simms Guide Gloves for rowing my drift boat while fly fishing. I have only used them once so far, and they performed at least as well as the ones I replaced for rowing. The NRS gloves have good padding on the palm and protected my skin from sunburn. If they hold up I will consider them a bargain, at half the price of the Simms. To be fair, the NRS gloves are not fishing gloves, per se, and do not have the goat leather palm and finger panels that the Simms have. But these are features I don’t particularly need. Another point of comparison: I wear size S in the Simms, and size L for the same fit with the NRS.

NRS seems have bad desing of their gloves and mitt

1 year ago

These gloves have a seam right where paddle presses against thumb. This creates a blister for me. Also, the material on palm side is very thin. I am returning it. I actually had the same problem with NRS warm gloves and mittens. The same problem: seam is right where paddle contacts fingers. I am fan of NRS ( their SUP, boots, ets) , but I will not buy any other NRS gloves as they all seem have bad design. It is very regrettable that REI does not carry "Sea to Summit Eclipse Fingerless Paddle Gloves" - I had these and loved them. Unfortunately, have to buy them from Amazon instead of supporting REI.

Love these

3 years ago

I’ve had these 2 years of very regular use and they are very comfortable for sea kayaking. Quick drying and just enough padding to ease grip pressure. The SPF is a super plus as well because I have to watch sun exposure. Getting a new pair as I’m wearing through the seams - the fabric is lightweight -a plus on hot days but they don’t last forever.

OUTSTANDING Gloves?

1 year ago

I was using lifting gloves for paddling but they created hot spots and didn't dry very quickly. These gloves solves my glove problem along with SPF 50 for my hands. They are comfortable and stretch to fit like another layer of skin.
