A perfect combination of warmth and dexterity. 2 mm neoprene back and palm provide plenty of finger movement and warmth. Full Rawhide&$153; palm ensures total paddle and oar control with the best grip available. If you're looking for a glove that offers good protection without sacrificing your feel for the paddle, these are perfect. They're lighter and more flexible than the Reactors&$153;, or Rawhide&$153; 3.5 gloves, but warmer and grippier than the Rapid&$153; and Paddlers&$153; gloves. Our latest RawHide&$153; material is so durable, these gloves will provide years of performance for even the most gear-abusive paddler.
good cold weather boating glove
Really warm glove, and the raw hide palm gives awesome grip on paddle.
Good Product
I used their guide and measurements to buy a size Large. The gloves fit very loose. Consider buying a size smaller if you want a tight fit. Construction is good, seems like a durable product. Thick neoprene, so should be good down to 32 deg water.
Quality control problems
NRS is having some serious quality control problems with this product. The first pair I bought years ago was terrific. I recently lost the left glove, and bought a new pair (medium) as a replacerment. The fingers are way too short! I exchanged for the next size up (large), but of course the palm is much too big. They're going back too. Has NRS changed the design to fit orangutans? I guess I'll buy another brand instead ...
