I sail almost entirely for competitive races- summer, fall, spring. They're not great for extremely cold weather, but they work in cold situations. I generally get a pair each year, but I can get away with using an old pair if I have to- they last longer than any other gloves I've had. They're very 'sticky' even if they're kind of old or have been used a lot (which is great because they aren't the cheapest). They are not uncomfortable or cumbersome if you wear a watch. They're not extremely breathable, but they're not going to make things too much worse on a hot day. I have found when they get wet, they don't dry well (but most gloves don't wick) and your skin may pickle a bit (but not so much as the gloves with a lot of heavy material). They protect the back of your hands, too. I am the core jib and spinnaker trimmer for our boat and have never had an issue in heavy wind with these gloves. There are no real solutions to prevent your hands from being tired (unless you exercise/prepare them), but these have saved me from excessive tiredness because the grip is so good. The only issue I had with them this time is the measurement guide (and I checked their site before I ordered). I wasn't at home to check the size of my previous gloves, so I had to measure when ordering. I measured my hand and ordered what was recommended. They were too large. Since these are nearly impossible to find in a store, you kind of have to take a chance if ordering the first time. I have normal women's hands and I take a small. (These gloves only have typical sizes- they do not have women's or men's sizes). Review: The best sailing gloves for racing! - I needed a reliable pair of gloves for racing, especially since I'm on the foredeck. I've tried other brands, but these are the best by far! They're durable, have an excellent non-slip grip, and fit my hand perfectly. Highly recommend! ## Features - Low-profile wrist doesn't push watch buttons - Durable Black Magic finger wraps reduce seam bulk and increase dexterity - Black Magic palm material provides outstanding abrasion resistance, protection and durability - Mesh vents at base of fingers give a cool, custom fit - Molded-rubber guard strips on back ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00AKVHN7W | | Best Sellers Rank | #190,571 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #2 in Men's Water Sports Gloves #3 in Women's Water Sports Gloves | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (76) | | Date First Available | December 8, 2012 | | Department | womens | | Manufacturer | Harken Yacht Equipment | | Package Dimensions | 1 x 1 x 1 inches; 1 Pounds | ## Images ![Sport Men's Full Finger Reflex Gloves - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71oS-lC9KeL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best gloves I've owned for competitive sailing *by J***3 on June 24, 2015* I love these gloves.

I've tried other brands, but these are the best by far! They're durable, have an excellent non-slip grip, and fit my hand perfectly. Highly recommend! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So far great fit & quality. *by M***4 on October 14, 2014* Great fit and quality so far. The small size was good for my female hands (5'5" tall, medium build). My fingers feel protected and yet agile enough to manage the lines when hoisting etc. I have not used these gloves for an entire MI sailing season yet, which runs April to Oct., to judge the total quality yet. Previously, I used my Gill sailing gloves for almost 3 years until one glove ripped in a storm. At this point it is worth purchasing. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/41736376-sport-mens-full-finger-reflex-gloves](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/41736376-sport-mens-full-finger-reflex-gloves) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
