NRS Men's Boaters Gloves

rated 3.5 of 5 stars

A boaters glove that dries very slowly and falls apart when wet.

Pros

  • Cheap

Cons

  • They take forever to dry, longer than overnight
  • The palm material thins out and falls apart

As an occasional kayaker I would hope a boaters glove would hold up for more than one season. The palm material is thin and got even thinner with use. It is now falling apart.

They take a long time to dry. I have bicycle gloves that dry faster.

Source: bought it new
Price Paid: I don't recall

For paddling in the warmer months, these gloves are the ticket to blister prevention and sun protection.

I like the fingerless design, as I use these while kayak fishing, and the design allows full dexterity to tie knots and other tasks. I like dipping my hands in the water with the gloves on to cool off a bit too.

The "snot patch" is helpful too.

I have used them for about 4 paddles and I like them a lot.

Now I don't paddle without them.

I highly recommend.

Thanks.
