Palmyth UV Protection Fishing Fingerless Gloves UPF50 are designed to protect your hands from the harmful UV rays of the sun. These gloves are certified UPF 50+ and SPF UV protection is woven into the fabric, ensuring that it does not wash off or wear off when the glove is wet. This means that you can enjoy long hours of fishing without worrying about sunburn. The long cuff of the gloves also protects your wrist, where the sleeves of your shirt won't reach.

The gloves feature a partial synthetic leather reinforced palm, which provides a better grip and durability. The ergonomic leather in the palm allows you to have a better grip on fishing rods, paddles, or trekking poles. Additionally, it protects your hands from blisters, calluses, and insect bites.

These gloves are made from stretchy, lightweight, and breathable quick-drying fabric. Contrary to popular belief, wearing these gloves actually keeps your hands cooler and drier than wearing no gloves at all. The unique grip and 3/4 finger length of the gloves ensure that you can wear them all day long without discomfort.

The gloves are designed with both a wrist pull and finger-tip pull, making it easy to wear or remove them even when they are wet. The fingerless design allows you to retain maneuverability and dexterity, making these gloves suitable for various outdoor activities such as fishing, kayaking, hiking, paddling, rowing, driving, canoeing, paddleboarding, running, cycling, and water sports.

These gloves are machine washable, so you can simply throw them in the wash after strenuous activity. They can be paired with other UV clothing, such as sunhats and sun sleeves, for complete sun protection. The breathable fabric of the gloves will always retain its sun protectiveness, making it suitable for fishermen, anglers, sailors, hunters, kayakers, hikers, runners, outdoor athletes, and people with possible skin cancer issues.

Q: Is the padding thin enough to comfortably palm a baitcaster?
