I've used them now a 1/2 dozen times. We mostly paddle on flat water, and I need them to protect my hands from sun, blisters, and heat (I have a paddle with a black shaft which heats up on sunny days). These are good at the first and last, but they rub when dry. If I drop my hands in the water and soak the gloves they do well enough -- otherwise they make the blister issues worse not better.

Kirk Palmer: First, let me say that I've always been a Fish Monkey Fishing Gloves fan; however, the Kastking Gil Raker "stubby" gloves aren't bad. First the good:
1. Great Value
2, Decent Fit (don't trust the sizing instructions)
3. Good graphics (Prym 1 Camo patterns)
Now the not so good:
1. Quality Control is lacking as some of the seams aren't sewn well (had to re-stitch around the finger pull loops)
Kastking fishing gloves aren't as "heavy duty" as some other brands, specifically Fish Monkey; however, for the budget minded recreational angler, they'll be just fine. One thing that Kastking does better than Fish Monkey is design selection. My Gil Raker gloves came in the Prym 1 Patriot design and it looks great. In fact, the Prym 1 designs are great across the board. Beware of the sizing. I measured my hand as illustrated by the advertisement and the gloves were slightly loose. I expected them to be more form fitting. I don't foresee a problem with this going forward, but I thought they'd be a little tighter.
So, how can Kastking improve the gloves?
1. Make the stitching more heavy duty and pay attention to Quality Control
2. Double stitch the pull tab anchors ( I...

Seiryuki: One of the main things I like about this gloves is that it has two loops at the knuckles area that I use when pulling out the glove from my hand. I've always had to struggle with other gloves to put on and take off but this was near effortless to take off! Note that pulling only one loop doesn't work—you have to pull both at the same time for it to be effortless.
The velcro wrist strap makes it super easy to put on and tighten. I don't have fleshy wrists so the only negative I can say is that the wrist part rubs against my wrist joint bone and bothers me but only slightly. I believe that if it had some sort of cushioning between the wrist strap part and my wrist, it would be super comfortable. But so far it isn't a serious bother. If after much use it happens to be a bother (which I doubt) I can always wrap a piece of cloth around my wrist before putting on the gloves, or my rash guard or arm sleeves will do the trick.
The soft material at the back of the glove feels really nice and comfortable. Even in the sun it has this cooling effect on the back of my hand!
The palm of the glove is a different, tougher material but maintains the sensitivity so I can feel...

David StonikasDavid Stonikas: I do jet ski tours and rentals for work so am constantly in and out of the water using my hands. Got these since i was starting to blister up a ton during the summer heat. Saw significant improvement on my blistery/sun poisoned hands after wearing these for about 2 months now. Only issue is durability. Seem to be made out of quality material, but as seen in the attached pictures the stiching on the palm has come undone. Still overall satisfied, just hoped to get a few more months of use out of them.
