Glacier Glove Fleece Lined Perfect Curve paddling glove is the new version of the ever popular Perfect Curve neoprene kayaking glove, but now it has fleece lining to make it warmer. Made of 2mm neoprene with the bare rubber side out which gives you better grip on a paddle and keeps your hands warmer than a glove with Lycra nylon on the outside because there is less evaporative cooling without the Lycra which soaks up water. The neoprene is blind stitched and glued.

Perfect Curve Fleece Lined Glacier Gloves are available in sizes the fit larger hands than any other neoprene glove. Glacier Glove Fleece Lined Perfect Curve Gloves run a full size larger than most gloves, so guys who usually can't find gloves big enough will often fit the L or XL in these, and yet they even make them in XXL (which would be like XXXL in most brands). Most women wear XS - M. We put sizing information right in the drop down menu where you select your size option above.

These paddling gloves fit most hands well unless you have very thick, short fingers and/or a wide palm (In which case try our Stohlquist Maw Gloves)

As with all fleece lined neoprene gloves we've tested, you'll feel slight glue lines at the seams when you first put these gloves on (because the fleece wicks up a bit of glue). However, in actual use while paddling people don't notice the seams, and everyone finds these gloves extremely comfortable overall. The other thing you should know about these gloves (and the same is true for all neoprene paddling gloves that grip a paddle well) is that they will show wear almost immediately because the bare neoprene on outside abrades at wear points such as the base of the thumb and finger tips, but you can make these gloves last about as long as any other neoprene glove if you apply a thin layer of AquaSeal Adhesive on the high wear areas before they become holes. The best time to apply the AquaSeal is after the first day of use when you can just start to see the rub spots. This is our standard advice with all neoprene gloves that grip well because all the good paddling gloves have bare neoprene on the palms. If you are the type who can't stand the thought of this, we recommend the NRS Maverick Gloves gloves which hold up better than most neo. paddling gloves (but still benefit from some armoring with AquaSeal).
