NRS Cove Gloves

No, the Cove Gloves are specifically designed for warm-weather paddling. They prioritize breathability and sun protection over thermal insulation, so they won't keep your hands warm in cold water.

Yes, the extended cuff is designed to overlap seamlessly with the sleeves of most long-sleeve sun shirts. This eliminates the gap of exposed skin between your glove and shirt sleeve, providing continuous UPF 50+ coverage.

The palms feature Amara synthetic leather with silicone accents, which are specifically engineered to maintain a reliable, sticky grip even when wet. This helps prevent slipping on your paddle shaft or rigging.

They provide moderate palm protection against blisters and abrasion, which is ideal for general paddling and rigging. However, if you are looking for heavy-duty, thick gel padding for intense rowing, you may want a more specialized glove.

While the gloves are full-finger, they are not specifically advertised as touchscreen-compatible. You will likely need to remove them to operate a smartphone or GPS device effectively.

Rinse them with fresh water after each use in saltwater or muddy conditions to prevent salt buildup and fabric degradation. Allow them to air dry away from direct sunlight, as the quick-drying fabric is designed to dry efficiently on its own.
