Take a look at an old flats guide's hands and you'll get a pretty good idea of why we made these. Of course, there's always sunscreen, but it tends to make slippery work of casting and line control, and who wants coconutscented flies, anyway? The solution is a light, comfortable, fingerless glove made from quickdrying, 30 UPF polyester 84 recycled fabric. The webbedfinger design and outoftheway seam placement make Sun Gloves easy to wear and easy to slip on and off. Your hands will thank you.

Customer Reviews for the Glove Patagonia Sun

SuperG - October 26, 2009

Great for racing in hot weather conditions
Got the idea from watching Sinballe in past Hawaii IM Worlds. If you suffer in the heat then keeping the sun off your skin is essential. These gloves are great - they are light and let air and moisture pass through easily and their light color is less absorbent of the sun. Sinballe's heat research showed that keeping ice in the palms of your hands can have a positive effect in keeping core body temperature down. I get to an aid station and just dump ice into the glove on the palm side and keep on truckin'. As the ice is melting between aid stations, you can wipe your temple / forehead (whatever) and it definitely eases the heat stress.

Awesome product!
My fishing adventures lead me to many high mountain lakes here in Colorado. Year after year like clockwork, the sun overhead can leave me dry,exhausted,and burnt! Never one to let the daylight waste, my eagerness to catch the next fish leaves me lost in the wonder of my environment. Agh!By the time I realize I'm burnt ..it's too late! Up to this year, I've been able to cover up except my hands. Not one to suffer either, I picked up a pair of Patagonia Sun Gloves this year. I've used them on every outing thus far this year and they are a saver! No more red, scratchy burnt fingers and backsides of my hands! I plan on picking up another set as a back up.
