Just slide a pair of Yakgrips onto the shaft of your paddle and experience all day comfort while paddling. These comfort paddle grips have the cushiest feel and follow the actual curve of your hands to reduce fatigue, prevent blisters and calluses. Yak grips ease the pressure on your palms and tendons of your hands so you can get a good grip on your paddle for more efficient paddling. You'll appreciate them even more for those aggressive bouts of paddling. Yakgrips are easy to install. For 2-piece paddles just wet the inside of the Yakgrips and slide on. The inner gripping design will keep them where you put them. If you want to remove them put some water under them and on the paddle shaft and pull them off. For one-piece paddles a Velcro version is available. Yakgrips can be left on ready for your next journey.

    Insulates your hands from a cold or hot paddle shaft and they stay where you put them. Easy to install and easy to remove, but they won't come off by accident. Also a great way to differentiate between you paddle and your buddy's.

    Review: Fairly easy to install. Feel great! Do slip around some when they get wet. Rolled back both ends of each grip, put on a ring of double-faced tape, unrolled the ends. Will see how that works. Otherwise, they do save your hands.

    Review: Though my husband and I haven't gotten to use them yet, we have put them on our paddles and I can tell by the secure hold that they are really going to help with our grips and lessen the strain on our hands.

    Review: just used today out at the islands for a couple of hours. And my hands are so much happier. They really helped in the soreness of hands. I got the velcro ones and really like them. thanks

    Review: Excellent product for protecting your hands. Unobtrusive. A little difficult to install but as soon as it fits the handle of the paddle it works well.

    Review: The grips fit perfectly and have prevented blisters when kayaking. This company has well-priced products and ships very quickly.

    Review: These are the perfect addition to any paddle. Bought a few pair of grips. Wetting the slip on ones definitely makes for an easier install. As others have mentioned, they do slip and rotate a little when paddling. I will try the hairspray trick and see if that helps. Overall, we are very satisfied with the grips - improves comfort.

    Review: These work great in avoiding blisters and no more having to wear gloves! However, being a female, the store recommended I purchase a smaller shaft paddle and the grips tend to slip when wet. I will try the recommendation of another reviewer and see if duct tape fixes the problem.

    Review: Absolutely love these. No more sore hands. They do tend to slide around a bit when they get wet though... I will follow the advice of others here and try a little hairspray or duct tape.

    Review: These are great! keeps your hands from slipping, makes paddling easier and can go further. love them.

    Review: These grips are super, they are so comfortable. One additional benefit is the placement of the grips keeps your hands where they should be. There is no second guessing where your hands should be, a benefit for a beginner in the sport. I wish I had these years ago.

    Review: Grips feel great...no sore hands or blisters. If grips slide around on you, peel the grips back and spray all over with hairspray, put grips back in place and once dry, grips will not move.

    Review: These grips (both the slip on and the velcro) are the greatest... I wear rings that don't come off, especially the one on my thumb. Before the grips I could count on blistering and PAIN. No more. Better kayakers have said to me "You're gonna paddle with those rings on?" My comeback, "With my Yakgrips, I don't even notice I'm wearing them....."

    Review: These are great. They keep you from getting sore hands and blisters. I don't know what others are complaining about, these are easy to install. Just put a little water on the inside and they slide right on. worth every penny

    Review: The grips with velcro are far easier to install than the slip on model. Saves wear and tear on the hands for longer trips.

    Review: Great item - go on nice and easy and are very effective. Nicely priced when compared to other outfitters. The "orange" Yak Grips compliment the the orange blades on the Bending Branches Angler Slice Paddles....if you like to color coordinate....ha ha!

    Review: I bought 3 sets, 1 for me, 1 for my wife, 1 for her best friend. The girls like them more than me, much more comfortable, guides their hands to the proper paddle position, more comfortable than wet gloves. Our only complaint is they slide up and down the shaft while paddling, a little duct tape goes a long ways to solving this problem.
