Xcel Outrigger Glove

Not great. Lycra offers no support. Had to go back to my old gloves.

Small is quite big and I have to tighten the straps a lot, which ends up hurting my wrists

I purchased these gloves for kayaking in ocean coastal water. I have worn them three times and they work extremely well. I tend to hold the paddle tight between my thumb and first finger - where I get blisters. These gloves are tight, well made, and protest my hands. They take a wee bit of getting used to, since the fabric is more bulky than a bare hand. They dry fast. My recommendation - get a size "small" if you are a woman and would wear a size med or large in women's sizes.

i love that the fingers are longer on these gloves than most i have tried. no more blisters!

Sizing is correct (XL in hand sizes) Quality sewing, sturdy materials & less expensive than sailing gloves usually are. The back of the gloves has some protective aspects as well.
