Rob, try washing them with a bit of vinegar added in. Seems to freshen them up. (works well for stinky synthetic fishing and running gear).

I second Thomas's stance. For long flats trips, they're great. I don't need sunscreen with them, which helps line life, and they help protect your fingers when using quick strips and one strikes. For freshwater trips, I don't really typically use them. Likely because usually my hands are in the water or getting wet much more often. The fish also don't hit like they do in saltwater.On Wed, Apr 18, 2018 at 10:14 AM, tperkins <thomas....@gmail.com> wrote:these were the cheapest ones that buff makes I think, could be that the other ones have a slightly longer finger, or just the way i happen to strip line doesn't quite line up with these.--

Wonder if that means i should buy fancy sun gloves like Simms or Orvis.On Wed, Apr 18, 2018 at 10:09 AM, tperkins <thomas....@gmail.com> wrote:oh, I will add that the ones i have (buff brand, on sale), don't fully act as stripping guards so I still find that I have to add a guard to my finger. But the gloves help hold it is place which is nice. I probably won't wear them for all my trips, but definitely nice to have in the bag for long days.--

I am trying to cover up as much as I possibly can these days. Easier than putting on sunscreen. I fished from a boat at Fletcher's from sunup to 4pm Saturday and didn't get sunburned. Sun gloves, sun shirt with hood, buff, light weight pants. I may have looked a little ridiculous out there, but better than being sunburned or having surgery.
