NRS HydroSkin Gloves

Comments about NRS HydroSkin Gloves:

This is my second pair of this type glove. The first pair split up and I am left holding only the left glove. The right glove is somewhere on a river. The gloves are light, flexible, and reasonably warm. I bought them for protection from rock bashing as well as blister protection. They work well enough protecting my hands from rocks, however I still developed blisters between my thumb and forefinger from gripping the paddle. I like the gripping ablity of the glove on an unwaxed paddle shaft. I won't wear these for really icy cold water paddling, for that I use the NRS Toaster mitts, but for most paddling from early May to early Novemebr in the Northeast, this is a really good glove.

Two of my teammates and I used these for the Tough Mudder VT last weekend. They kept our hands warm while allowing us to have a grip on the ropes and walls. They also protected our hands while crawling.

I know these gloves were made for kayaking, however my climbing buddy has a pair he wears on the ice. He swears by them. I wore these twice and the already split a seam. I have not checked into returning them yet. I would recomend them as long as my next pair hangs in more than twice.

Held up amazingly well for 2.5 hours of ToughMudder Twin Cities. When the race was over, I washed the gloves and line dried them. They look like new. Ready for the next mud run obstacle course!

My experience was exactly as others have described. When I tried them on, they fit great and felt very comfortable. Thirty seconds later, one of the seams failed as I took them back off. I'm very disappointed with the defective stitching, as otherwise they seem just right for my needs.

I have tried a plethora of paddling gloves, and these are the best. They take a little getting used to because they are grippy and prevent you from sliding along the paddle shaft, which for me is a good thing. I used these in California when I lived there, and now I am using them for paddling in Hawaii. I prefer these over fingerless gloves because I get the sun protection for my fingers. Every little bit counts. Note on the sizing: I consider myself a Medium-sized hand, but I wear an X-Small in these.
