KastKing Sol Armis Sun Gloves UPF50+ Fishing Gloves UV Protection, Sun Protection for Outdoor, Kayaking, Rowing

Size runs small. I wear size L gloves, and the XX-L fit perfectly. The L-XL was a little tight. Over all they are great gloves.

I purchased these gloves to be my backup pair on a trip to Brazil fly fishing for Peacock Bass. First day out I decided to give them a try and wore them the entire trip. They were very comfortable and really held up well. I'm going to give them a wash but am including a pic of how they look after the trip. I didn't have any seams split or pads tear. We all put tape on the first finger of our stripping hands for added protection. I fished for 6 1/2 days in the Amazon basin. It was hot and humid. The gloves were lightweight yet protected my hands. They exceeded my expectations. I'll clean them up and they'll be ready for my next trip.

Excellent fit and made of quality material. Very nice and would definitely recommend. With kast king you can’t go wrong.

First, the most important thing about any gloves for me: they fit! I have large hands and a lot of L/XL gloves still don't fit quite right. I think the 3/4 finger design of these helps with that. They're snug but not too constricting. If you wear XL in most gloves don't worry about them being too small. Some other things I like: - The pattern is nice - The layout of the reinforcements is well done, feels good with a spinning and baitcasting rod in hand - On/off pull tabs are pretty convenient, but I end up adjusting the wrist area after pulling them on every time - The fabric feels great to the touch, it's very smooth and soft. The faux leather material is supple and kind of thin, which should be good for sensitivity. - They feel like they have a nice cooling effect just on first try-on, which gives me confidence that they're going to wick away moisture well, and should be great during warm days. - They feel amazing with a trekking pole in hand, and I like that I can use a single pair of gloves to hike in to a spot, fish it, and hike out. Some things I don't like: - The print could be better. I haven't seen the original artwork, so I can't say for sure, but the print seems a bit dull and washed out. The darkest parts that are probably supposed to be black are more of a charcoal grey. - The pleather on the index finger is doubled up where one piece meets another, causing seemingly unnecessary bunching when you close your index finger. It's not uncomfortable, but I could see it being cut and sewn differently so the seams of the two pieces meet and there is no extra fabric. That being said, is does look nice and clean, so I could see why it was constructed this way. - The middle finger should be shorter. A lot of rods let you feel the blank by positioning a spot on the handle big enough for you to rest your middle and index fingers on. I have multiple rods of this style, and with all the fabric on the middle finger of these gloves I can't feel the blank at all. Because the pull tab is there as well, it's actually 3 layers of fabric from my finger to the blank. There's a very easy solution to this: I folded the middle finger down halfway, so now I can touch the blank with my middle finger and end of my index finger. In future production this could be fixed by just shortening the middle finger and moving the pull tab down lower. Overall, my first impression of these is great. They're a new product, so I'm sure any issues will be worked out over time as the reviews come in. Why 4 and not 5 stars? There's room for improvement. These would be perfect for me with the small fixes I mentioned. I'm becoming a big fan of KastKing and the stuff they're putting out because they actually listen to their customers and seem to update their products based on feedback. Big brands may do that to some degree, but KastKing is doing it very well right now, and at great prices. If they keep it up I'll be a fan for a long time. So yeah, I'd probably recommend these as a good fishing/hiking combo glove based on my first impression of them, but with those changes I mentioned I'd recommend them 100% as a perfect warm weather fishing glove. Thanks for reading my review, and I hope it helped in some way.

Sun protection is important. These gloves cover well and are made with quality in mind. They aren't the warmest I'veever worn but i got them for sun protection and not warmth. They are easy to put on and take off. They have a nice rubberized or silicone grip on the palm and fingers.

I am very happy with my purchase of these gloves. They are well made, comfortable and protect my hands from the sun during my morning and evening dog walks. I toss them in the washer with my other clothes once a week and they seem to tolerate this just fine. I normally wear a size large glove and ordered large (LXL). I found that the large fit me well, but was a hassle to take on and off twice a day for my walks. I ordered an Extra Extra large for my second pair. These fit me a little but loose, AND ARE PERFECT for my use because they are much easier to slide on and off. I'm saving the LXL pair for activities where I need a snugger fit. The ONLY thing I would change on the product would be to add a little bit of leather to the other fingers (that don't have leather) just to give them a little more reinforcing and easier to get on and off. I am really glad I found these, and plan on using them twice a day for a long, long time.

KastKing makes great products and these gloves fit like...you guessed it...like a glove! Superior quality! Nicely packaged and top rated for a reason. I have no doubt these will meet or exceed my expectations.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Price Durability: Not great Look: Great look and comfortable They ripped after the 3rd use. That’s unfortunate because they seemed to be nice gloves
