Harken Sport Men's Full Finger Reflex Gloves

I love these gloves. I've tried so many and these are the best. 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).

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!

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.

Mrs McKinley here: Wish Harken made women's gloves, but hey fingers are fingers right? Well constructed gloves are comfortable and give good protection. Until I find women's gloves, I'll stick with these.

2XL fit great, looks to be good quality

These have been my "go to" sailing gloves for 25 years.

These gloves seem pretty well thought-out. They are comfortable, with mesh vents near the base of the fingers. There's thick padding on the palm, which may save you from breaking your arms when you break your fall. The fingertips have very good grip. The exposed thumb and index finger feel strangely cold, but i guess that's normal for exposed finger gloves. There was also some seemingly decorative rubber strips on the tops of the hands, the glue holding them on was post-it weak, so i just ripped them all off, as they seemed to serve no apparent purpose anyway. The dexterity with these gloves is such that i can actually type in my password to unlock my computer.

Feel great, protects hands and fingers...

mala calidad del materia que protejE la palma. despues de par de usos..degradado (como si fuera papel de fumar), se rompia tirando con 2 dedos y ha desaparecido Es una pena pq se ajusta como un guante a la piel, en sentido literal, no como otros queh e tenido que hacen que la mano baile. como solo lo he usado 3 veces, están como nuevos, he cosido un parche de un material que si es protector, no la mierda original, y creo que me durará otro poco mas. Desgraciadamente, he de decir que mala calidad en la parte que deberia ser la mas dura. DESACONSEJABLE, y lo digo con pena

Estoy super contento con mis guantes! Los uso a diario y son cómodos y útiles. La calidad es óptima y el envío llegó antes de lo planificado. Recomendados!

Of all the sailing gloves I have used this is the only one I can say which had the best grip and was robust enough to last couple of seasons, considering I used it on races it was worth the price.
