Sea to Summit Eclipse Paddle Gloves - Large

These gloves ended up being much better than I expected for the price. They are very well made, fit perfectly and do just what they are made to do. They protect your hands and improve your grip on your paddle, wet or dry. The fingerless design was a must for me since I fish from my kayak. I never take the gloves off the whole time I am on the water; really until I load my kayak and gear back on the SUV. No blisters, no calluses, no cut or scraped hands and also no sunburn, an added plus. I highly recommend these gloves to any paddler (beginner or experiened), kayak or canoes;I do both and wish I had these many years ago..  Sea to Summit Solution Gear Paddle Gloves

These gloves are perfect! I’ve had a thicker pair of cold water gloves in the past, but they were very bulky and not suited for warmer temps. For me these are perfect for all water conditions, my hands run warm and if the water is liquid it’s normally too warm for thicker gloves. These gloves were comfortable, a perfect fit and kept my hands blister free. They also dry very quickly. I can’t say enough good things about them.

The gloves look like what I needed. I ordered a size small; size large was sent. I returned and reordered a size small and a size large was sent again.

Giving these 3 stars because they're good quality gloves and fit me perfectly, but they still had issues (for me). I bought them to use for kayaking to reduce the friction on my hands when using a carbon paddle (the shaft has ridges on it that chafe over time). Like some reviewers have mentioned, I ended up with blisters (I didn't get blisters barehanded). The reason for my blisters is that the shaft of the paddle wants to "settle" in right where the cuttoff fingers meet the second crease of my finger. If the finger material extended to one more knuckle (leaving just the end of the fingers exposed), it would be perfect for me. I'm going to continue using the gloves and see if my fingers toughen up or or perhaps adjust my paddling technique. Or I may have to switch to full-fingered gloves. I'll report back.Update:Well, a kayak fishing day every week for a couple months toughened up my hands. I haven't had blisters since my previous post. LOVE these gloves. I checked them after my recent trip, to see if it was time to order new ones, but they're still in great shape.Increased to 5 stars.

Well made. Runs on the small side. Needs an "extension" on the middle finger to help remove the gloves.

Great gloves for kayaking: very strong. I only had to replace them because my dog ate the first pair;-<I use them for running in the winter also; the exposed finger tips let me swipe my cell phone.

Love these gloves. They dry quickly and help to give me a good grip while paddling for hours.

Bought these for a 4 day sea kayaking adventure off Vancouver island. Had never kayaked before. I put these on at the beginning of the day, and then forgot about them. Never had a blister, kept the sun off my hands. and dried out quickly when wet.While I don't know much about kayaking, I do know bike gloves. These are thinner, of course, and have different padding. But as good quality as my good bike gloves.
