FAQ
What does UPF50 mean for my skin?
UPF50 blocks 98% of harmful UV rays, significantly reducing the risk of sunburn and long‑term skin damage during extended water exposure.
Can I wear these gloves in cold water?
Yes, the thin polyester layer dries quickly, and the padded palm offers a modest amount of insulation, making them comfortable in cool conditions.
How do I clean the gloves?
Rinse with fresh water after use and machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Air dry flat to maintain shape and grip performance.
Are the gloves suitable for left‑handed paddlers?
Absolutely. The ambidextrous design means the same glove works equally well on either hand.
Do the silicone patches affect paddle feel?
The silicone reinforcement enhances grip without making the paddle feel slippery; it actually improves tactile feedback by preventing slippage.
