Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Sun Gloves. Necessary?

I didn't like my last purchase by Buff as they smelled rotten after drying. I'm currently wearing NRS brand. They are super thin and don't get in my way when tying knots. There is a built in stripping guard. I had a conversation with a doctor yesterday about skin damage and showing age on hands. They also help when rowing a boat and dealing with angry white perch with spikey backs. Any additional skin protection you can use will help you in the long run.

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.

Roger that. Thanks for the info. Good to know that they don't do the job of stripping guards. Wonder if that means i should buy fancy sun gloves like Simms or Orvis.

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.

Are the necessary? No. But I just picked up a pair and I like them, especially for long days on the water.  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.

Hey guys. I'm trying to decide if i need sun gloves for my first saltwater trip (SC) in May.  Does anyone use them?  I truly can't decide if they are necessary.
