Great paddle gloves
I purchased to use for stand up paddleboarding mostly for sun protection because I hate wearing sunscreen. They do the job for this. If it's a hot summer day, I just put my hands in the water to cool down my hands. The gloves grip the paddle very well and I sometimes forget I am wearing gloves. Also, the gloves are long enough to cover my wrists so I don't get sunburned there. Overall, great gloves.

Tight fit leaves fingers cold
Be aware the sizes run very small. Just returned from a backcountry canoe trip. My hands were warmer bare. The size XL was tight and cut circulation to my fingers. Will be returning these.

a must anytime water is chilly.

I use these gloves paddling all the time whenever the water is just a bit too chilly to paddle without hand protection. Especially if I'll be in rough water, surfing, etc, where there's a chance I'll be upside down while playing. They're a huge help keeping my hands a bit warmer, and they're thin enough to not feel like I have anything on.

Comfy Cold Water Paddling

Gone are my days of numb fingers when early spring paddling! Gloves fit well and performed as hoped.

Great gloves

These gloves are extremely comfortable. They are more like a second shin and don't feel bulky at all. Highly recommend. Light weight thin but get the job done.

Good Product for warmer temperatures

This product is good for warmer temperatures. I found the grip to not be tacky, and aI actually want that to help keep my grip on my paddle shaft. Otherwise, this is a 5 star product. Just don’t expect these to act as thermal protection. They are not.

tested well at 45-degree temps

Nice gloves for kayaking. My day was icy water with air-temp 45F-degrees, and my hands were just fine.

Size up and OK to go - not so much for warmth!

I bought these for rafting in cold water, early spring season. The gloves provide good grip, but aren't very warm or durable. I bought a size up from typical, as many said they were small and uncomfortably tight. In the larger size, they aren't too bad to get on or off, even when wet. I had expected a little more warmth, and was a little disappointed in that, but do have other options so I'll keep the light-weight gloves as the grip is important for maintaining control of the oars without slipping. They are comfortable, and don't have any stiffness that is present in thicker neoprene gloves.

I purchased these for motorcycle in the rain

My first use was for a 5 hour period in a good reason. They kept my hands warm throughout and worked very well.

Beware of sizing!

I didn't see many comments on this, but according to the size chart I should be an XL. Upon trying them on the palm area was a little more snug than I'd like but would be useable. HOWEVER! The fingers are super tight. Literally cut off blood circulation and are unwearable. I have average to slender fingers. I have to give them one star because I couldn't even wear them to see if they work well.

Comfrtable and Warm

These kept my hands warm kayaking in 40F water while fishing. My fingers were still dexterous and I was able to use my phone without taking them off. They are a bit tight so maybe order a size up.
