Looking for some suggestions on gloves for use on a spinnaker boat. (H Tiger)



I've been using Sailing Angles 'Kontrol' gloves, and have been really pleased with the padding in the palm and around the palm as well as their gripping ability, but they kinda don't last very long. I'll be buying my third pair this year.

The weird thing is, it’s the sides of the fingers that blow out. You'd think the palm would wear or rip, but it doesn't.



Is this to be expected when crewing on a spinnaker boat?



I don't tape my hands like I see others do, I just never felt like I needed the extra protection with these gloves, but now I am wondering if it helps to preserve the life of the glove in someway.

BTW, I always rinse my gloves out after use, especially when sailing in salt water.
