When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Palmyth UV Gloves - UPF50+ Fishing Fingerless

Palmyth UV Gloves - UPF50+ Fishing Fingerless

Description

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.

Now let's answer some frequently asked questions:

Q: My hand is 7", so on the border between XS and small. Should I size up or down? Thank you.

A: I would get small.

Q: Has anyone received a reply when asking Palmyth for support for poorly sewn gloves?

A: My gloves are well made. I use them frequently for fishing and have had no issues.

Q: Are these made in China?

A: Yes, the gloves are made in China.

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

A: Although I am not a fisherman, this glove can't get much thinner than it already is. The leather palm and finger inserts provide a good grip. I primarily use them for driving and to prevent sun damage to my hands.
