Chelsey M: They do a pretty decent job of preventing blisters on the thumbs. A bit tricky to get onto the paddles and adjust placement, but not enough for it to be a big deal.

Amazon Customer: Really like the idea of having these padded grips on the kayak paddles. They provide padding needed but they move and change the placement on the paddle.

Julie Grant: I love kayaking but like grips to help with arthritis in my hands. I have tried less expensive grips but have returned to these as they are the best ones.

Tayloranne 13: I like that they gave me hands more grip and that are protective against the hard paddle. No blisters on my 2.5 hour paddle today. However they slide on the paddle. Not so fond of that. That’s why I gave them a 3

GLC: I do not need padding gloves anymore. Yeah!
I noticed that the grips are better than others I tried. But they can still shift slightly when the paddle is soaked - but that has to be expected knowing how the grips are applied to the paddle. The grips stayed in place for 4/5 of my excursions.

SoloviajeroSoloviajero: June, 2017 UPDATE. I ordered another set of these today and added three photos below to illustrate a point I'm trying to make with this update. The point is that these are very good for what they're designed to do, but they should be considered "expendable," not a life of the paddle purchase if you regularly paddle difficult waters where your grip on the paddle is very tight. The wear shown in my photos is what you'd expect after two full seasons of ocean and river paddling. One photo shows not only the typical wear on the nylon covering, but also typical deterioration of the neoprene rubber beneath it, the result of countless compressions and expansions within a very limited area. The paddle shaft is visible through one of the holes. Shoes wear out after heavy use, and so it is with these. I don't fault that. Think of the damage to my thumb and fingers if the grips were NOT there. I bought another set because, after reviewing all the alternatives, these are the best on the market. The wear is identical whether the grip is black or some other color.

Many reviewers complain that these "slip around" on the shaft. They do slip and that can't be stopped unless you securely tape...
