Personally I don´t ever use gloves, so maybe I´m not the best person to guide you on this.
My opinion on gloves is that \"the touch\" tends to disappear when using them.

I paddled with a guy in Chile that wore gloves. They had a sort of kevlar coting over the fingers. I will try and find out what type they are, but they worked pretty good. You only have to paddle a river with volcanic rock once and you'll consider gloves.
Material ones will not cut it. Definalety get something with a coating. Also don;t know so much about \"the touch\". It tends to dissapear anyway in cold water.


can you show me these gloves?

Being from Iceland I´m used to volcanic rock. But since many of the rivers we are paddling are glacial they have had the time to sand down the rocks so the sharpness isn´t really there.
Sure the \"touch\" fades out as your hands get colder.

.....but I´m stubborn

I'm on my second pair of NRS Creek Gloves. They fall apart almost instantly. I'm trying the OR Alibi Gloves now. www.mountaingear.com/pages/product/produ...MG/item/201737/N/729

Good grip, but not very warm.

there are the NRS gloves they sell at the store here. Are you telling me they fall apart right away? Is there some way they can be reinforced?
