Here's a breakdown of what you need to know about paddle and watersports gloves and sun protection:

1. Paddle and Watersports Gloves:

  • Purpose: Paddle and watersports gloves are designed to provide comfort, grip, and protection while participating in water-related activities.
  • Materials: They are typically made from neoprene, synthetic leather, or a combination of materials to provide a balance between flexibility, durability, and insulation.
  • Features:
    • Grip: Many gloves have textured or rubberized palms to enhance grip on paddles or equipment.
    • Fingerless vs. Full-Finger: You can choose between fingerless gloves for better dexterity or full-finger gloves for added protection against cold water and abrasions.
    • Wrist Closure: Some gloves have adjustable wrist closures to ensure a secure fit and prevent water from entering.
  • Sizing: Proper sizing is crucial for comfort and performance. Refer to the manufacturer's sizing chart to find the right fit.
  • Maintenance: Rinse your gloves with fresh water after each use and let them air dry to prevent odors and prolong their lifespan.

2. Sun Protection Gear:

  • Sun-Protective Clothing: Consider wearing clothing made of UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) fabric that provides sun protection. Long-sleeved rash guards, board shorts, and sun shirts are common choices.
  • Sun Hats: Wide-brimmed hats or caps with neck flaps can protect your face, neck, and ears from the sun. Shop Sun Protection Hats

Remember that sun protection is crucial even on cloudy days because UV rays can penetrate cloud cover. Prioritize safety and protection to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable paddle or watersports experience. Additionally, consult with local experts or instructors for specific recommendations based on your chosen water activity and the local climate conditions.
