Description: The NRS Rapid Gloves provide excellent blister protection and moderate warmth. Durable GripCote palm ensures a solid grip and optimum paddling performance. These are as warm as the HydroSkin Gloves, but the thicker neoprene offers better padding and protection.
ACK Review: For the money the best full-finger gloves out there. Very comfortable with great grip without the compromising flexibility.

| Review: | Bought theses gloves for springtime paddle. Used last weekend temps. in high 60's and windy and they were perfect. The backs of the gloves aren't waterproof and you will get your hands wet if you have to scootch across a log or something,but they dry quickly and your hands stay warm like a wetsuit does. If you go all heavy duty Judy and paddle in the dead of winter you would be better off with full neoprene gloves or ones that are water tight, but for spring and fall paddling when it's chilly and the water is cold, these gloves are perfect. | ||

| Review: | Performed well on trip to Alaska that included kayaking, rafting and hiking. No failures of stitching in my pair. The weather was in the 50s-60s and the water was in the 40s-50s. They kept my hands warm without being too warm. Thin enough to operate binoculars, clips and zipper pulls. | ||

| Review: | These gloves are okay. The foam ring on the wrist started to separated from the glove the first day I wore them, but the rest of the glove seems durable after a few trips. Don't count on them for cold conditions... I'd say anything below 50 (my friend thinks 60) and you'd definitely want something else. | ||

| Review: | Super comfortable gloves! Being a girl, I have long fingers and slender hands, but these gloves fit my hands really well. They are fitted, not too wide or loose like some others I have tried on. I would say the size chart is accurate, I got a medium and they are perfect. | ||

| Review: | The NRS Rapid Kayak Gloves are very functional. Comfortable, very flexible, and great grip on the paddle, even when wet. Haven’t tried in extreme heat so can’t vouch that they aren’t hot to wear. Seem to work well as insulators in cool weather. Good grip and feel when touching objects (limbs, dock, rock, etc.). Rinse easily in the water. Appear to dry in 1 day. | ||

| Review: | The NRS Rapid Kayak Gloves are excellent gloves, bought a second pair to share with paddling partners. Light enough for summer use to improve grip, warm enough for cool (not cold) weather. Great grip even when wet. | ||

| Review: | Took the NRS Rapid Kayak Gloves on a kayak trip through the Adirondacks in late October and they were a great asset. They do a good job keeping my hands warm but they are not waterproof; A good amount of splashing will soak through. Overall happy with the purchase, as I use them for light duty cold weather cycling as well. | ||

| Review: | The gloves work great in cold weather. The palms are quite sticky and reduce fatigue from having to squeeze a smooth paddle too hard. | ||

| Review: | I purchased these gloves last week because we finally had a cold spell in Texas that I could not handle. I took my kayak out for a paddle over the weekend and I can honestly say that these gloves are great. My hands stayed warm all day and the grip really helps keep a grasp of your paddle! Thanks ACK! | ||
