Coolibar Full Finger UV Sun Gloves - UPF 50+ Sun Protection - Gannett

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Great fit, color, quality, comfort, and sun-protective properties!

When I was looking for a set of sun-protective gloves, I had narrowed it down to these and the Solbari ones. I'm glad I went with these. I have a sensitivity to the sun and therefore need to take extra precautions when out and about. The Gannet gloves from Coolibar have offered an ideal fit and level of protection. I've used them for about a year now for driving, hiking, and bike riding. They have held up really well. Some of the reviews I had read mentioned stitiching problems, but the pair I got have been quite resilient. They're so comfortable you forget you're wearing them. I thought the Cooltect technology was just a gimmick but it actually works; even in the hot sun you feel a cooling effect from the gloves. The only thing that I would recommend improving on would be the silver touch-compatible tips that wear out rather quickly, and the silicone grips on the palm that start to come loose after some time. Not deal-breakers, I would still replace the pair I own with the same brand. As or the sizing, some reviewers mention these running small, others them running large. I went with the sizing on the Coolibar website and settled on a Medium. For reference, I'm a male with 8 1/4 in circumference around the palm, and 7 1/2 in from wrist to tip of middle finger.

Great grip and soft fabric. Love my new gloves.

Accurate sizing, great quality. Comfortable and functional. They do the job protecting your hands from excessive sun exposure while driving.

This is my second pair. Great for driving, and the tech tips do work for using your phone while wearing them.

They are light weight, have a nice little pouch to put them in, that’s nice! The only thing I found is that the gloves fit a bit loose, so I have to keep rearranging them, and that makes it difficult to use them on the screen. Otherwise, the color is nice. The sun protection works fine. I haven’t used them that long to say more. Overall a nice pair. But it would be better if they fit better.

After melanoma surgery and some reading, it never occurred to me how much sun your hands get, especially since even long sleeves don't cover them. I can't stand wearing sun screen, especially on my hands. These gloves are the perfect solution. They're wonderful--even after weeks of wearing them, they still grip my hands closely, don't stretch out, and are quite comfortable to wear. I even got a second pair to swap out. The underside is silicone studded, which makes things easy to grip. Ironically, they're a little too grippy on the steering wheel, making it harder to have the wheel slide through your hands, so Coolibar, remember that for the next version. Still, I've found their functionality to be excellent. I can do virtually everything I wish wearing these gloves. I'm not big on using my phone, but they work for this too. Wearing sun gloves beats the alternative. I've got a number of things from Coolibar and really like their stuff. These gloves were definitely worth the $.

The fit, functionality, design are top notch. I highly recommend Coolibar UV sun gloves.
