Cattravel10 Posted January 30, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I'm going on Uncruise this May and wondering what is a good warm fairly inexpensive glove to wear for sea kayaking. Thanks in advance. Barb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donaldsc Posted January 30, 2019 #2 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Go to your local sporting goods store. They will have lots of choices. Just make sure that they are waterproof. Nothing worse than wearing wet cold gloves while you are kayaking. DON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glaciers Posted January 30, 2019 #3 Share Posted January 30, 2019 We bought gloves at Costco for 10 bucks. Head digital sensatec. Even though the kayak paddles have drip rings, gloves can still get a bit wet. These gloves dry quickly. They also work for using a cell phone and adjusting camera settings.

FastestSnail Posted January 31, 2019 #4 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Costco is good for gloves. I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new_cruiser Posted February 1, 2019 #5 Share Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) I wore wool fingerless mitten gloves for kayaking and other outings in Alaska. Waterproof gloves might be ideal, but I have short fingers and have never been able to find ones that fit my hands without having about half a finger of the glove past where my finger ends. That makes them too awkward to use. Wool is elastic enough to fit my hand more comfortably. It shed most of the water and retains heat even if it gets a bit wet so my hands never felt cold. I was cruising in May. It was cold and, despite May being statistically drier, we had rain most days. Mine are like this: https://www.amazon.com/Adorrable-Fingerless-Crochet-Convertible-Knitted/dp/B01N2WGNOG/ref=sr_1_1?s=apparel&srs=15605860011&ie=UTF8&qid=1549055991&sr=1-1&nodeID=7141123011&psd=1 I've had a couple of pairs of supposedly touchscreen compatible gloves (not Sensatec but a different brand). They work great when they are new, but apparently the conductive elements that make them work break down. They stopped working in less than a season. Reviews of various brands on line had similar complaints so I've given up on them. Fingerless mitten gloves (convertible gloves) have a mitten top that flips over the fingers and can be flipped back to use fingertips on a touch screen. If you go the wool route, you might want to take two pairs. There were a couple of times when mind hadn't dried out enough and I had to hit them with the hair drier for a bit.

They were on clearance at $7.97 last week but only S/P size left in our Costco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
