These gloves have worked out really well for me and a unique application: I fly large kites and inflatable “line laundry” (30 sq ft and larger). It means I’m constantly using my fingertips to fix tangled lines, attach clips, and hauling in hundreds of feet of 1000# paracord line under tension (all under the sun). These gloves have worked INCREDIBLY well for me, preventing both sunburn and rope burn without losing control of what I’m handling, and without getting hot.
