Though I advocate different strokes for different folks, I paddle with gloves during the summer months partly because my hands blister and peel repeatedly after a full day's paddle without sun block or gloves (just more sun sensitive skin, I guess - or yeah, I'm a wimp), but mostly because my palms sweat like crazy! Adding sun block to the mix makes fine paddle control just about impossible for me. Gloves give me better grip than bare hands while providing adequate sun protection for my delicate weather beaten callous laden hands, "wimpy" #;-> *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
