Rubber washing up gloves. Finger tips cut off.

My favorite mix is a set of the Zhik thin rubber coated gloves under a pair of three finger Harken gloves. I can't find full finger gloves anymore and there's something about the way I hold the sheet that it really wears off the skin on my forefinger inside first knuckle. I used to wear full finger gloves all the time...I let my crew tie all the knots.

I am amazed that no one has mentioned Sailing Angles Gloves. Donald sent me a pair of their new version about two years ago to try out.
Good things: good grip, comfortable, and very durable.
In those two years I sailed 165 series races per year on Waves, plus a half dozen regattas or more. And the gloves are still almost like new.

THey have both short finger and long. Check them out at https://store.catsailor.com/pc/showsearchresults.asp?IDBrand=4&iPageSize=20
Also, we carry Gill, Gul, Aquata, Harken, Zhik, DaKine, Ronstan and almost everything else. at www.OnLineMarineStore.com

Thunderwear. I've been using this brand for years.

I use Gill Championship, short fingers. The grip and padding are fantastic. I won't use anything else until they stop making them.

I used to buy West Marine gloves to save the $8 or whatever it is, but the stitching would start to come out after only a few days of sailing. I get at least one full season out of the Gill gloves before I start wearing them out (now that I never sail, they last forever)...

I do own a pair of West Marine gloves, and use them specifically for pulling marks. I don't want to ruin my good Gill gloves with anchor mud.

I did buy a pair of full neoprene gloves many years ago at Madcatter. I don't recall the brand, but they are so warm they can make your hands sweat in 40 degree temperatures. Of course, now that I'm old enough to know better, we don't even bother to rig the boat in those conditions.

My wife likes a water skiing glove that she found at Boater's World. I can look up the brand if you're interested.
