Gul 2mm delta gloves.
This is my first part of the
review on the delta gloves part 2 will be after I have used them on the water in about 2 weeks time .
The first impressions
of these gloves are that they are pre-shaped and fit really comfortable when worn.
the inside palms have a rubberised grip on them which
would mean no chance of your paddle slipping at all so you would not have to grip the paddle as hard which would make for
a more comfortable session .
Rest of the gloves are made from 2mm g-flex making them very flexible and
comfortable and light all the seams are blind stitched and sealed which should give drier /warmer hands
Also note the
high cut of these gloves in the photo and Velcro fasteners on the wrist
So when you have your cag or full wetsuit or dry
suit on the gloves would make a great seal.
I wore the gloves for about 1 hour in the garden today I found them very
flexible they do not hinder normal movement at all I also noticed that the wind never got through them and when I put my hands
in bucket of cold water they stayed dry inside I think on my first review of these gloves they will be great kayak gloves
allowing plenty of unrestricted movement /good grip and will be very warm on those cold days at sea .
I would like
to thank Liverpool power boats for allowing me to try and review these gloves and will add to this review after I have
had them on the water but so far they get a big thumbs up from me .
further to my first report i have now had the gloves out on the water and what a pair
of gloves they are My hands stayed dry all day and warm I found even when wet on the outside I could grip the side of the
kayaks easily the grip material on the palms and fingers on the inside was very good I found them flexible and did not hinder
my paddling at all .
as first thought even when I dipped my hands in the water no water came inside my gloves and I did
not have to grip the paddle hard at all I would say now I have used these gloves that they are a must well worth the £18.00
