O'BrienObrien Pro Skin Watersport Gloves

These are fantastic, the water is getting cooler and theses keep your hands warm and strong. Grip is fantastic and great fit and comfort. I have only worn them on two sets but they are well worth the money.

Great gloves, good grip and comfortable.

I am a woman and these gloves fit perfectly. I measured my hand and ordered according to their sizing guide n the website. My fingers are just as long as my husband’s, but my hand is much slimmer. I normally have to cut the fingertips off all my gloves or order 3/4 finger gloves. These were plenty long and fit my hand great.For reference, I wear a Connelly Medium womens 3/4 finger glove with the thumb tip cut off. I ordered these in a size small. They do feel smaller, but my Connelly gloves are probably 15+years old so stretched out a bit.I made one pass and switched back to my old gloves. These have a lot of padding (my Connelly only have two layers of leather sewn together) which made it hard to hang on to the rope. It kept slipping in my hands. We have the largest diameter handle made by Brenda (in TOW) I think. It’s smooth rubber grip. I think these gloves would work better with one of the straight line textured handles. The kids are using the gloves and haven’t said anything using a hyperlite handle.

Perfect gloves! Perfect fit! I wear a size Lg, bought a size Lg and they fit perfectly. These type of ski gloves are suppose to fit tightly to help your grip on the ski handle. Any glove that fits more loosely would not work. In addition, when my wife tosses me a cold Miller after a ski run all I have to do is stick it in the palm of the glove and it stays there with little effort!

I am a swift water technician at my fire department. These gloves were recommended by another firefighter on the team who has had the same pair for many years. They are the best gloves I have used by far. They are excellent for handling rope, grabbing victims in water, swimming, operating a boat and keeping my hands warm. They are made for abuse. They run small, order a size bigger.

My family loves to ski - and my brother prefers to use gloves to help his grip. For his birthday this year, I got him these rather expensive gloves as a treat. They lasted 2 months worth of weekends before they wore out and the palms of his hands and fingers were exposed. In contrast, a pair of super cheap no-name gloves ($7) that we bought at Boats U.S. lasted for 3 years. Very disappointing, since O'Brien is such a leader in ski-related accessories... I'll go for the cheap pair next summer - even if they wear out, I can buy several pairs with the $50 I'd spend on these.

gloves were a great fit, very much improved my slalom skiing.

The fit was good and leather palm and finger covering provides a better grip.
