We exchanged both pairs for the next smaller sizes. The gloves are lightweight and touted as universal so they can be used for paddling, rowing or even biking although I question the padding location for Kayak paddling. Ordered the gloves for both my wife and myself according to the size chart. The gloves fit OK although they were somewhat loose so we exchanged both pairs for the next smaller sizes which fit perfectly.

Not enough padding Prior to purchasing these gloves specifically designed for paddling, I used bike gloves. I was very disappointed using the NRS paddling gloves as they didn't have enough padding and protection at the critical points. Suggest use of bike gloves for paddeling instead of these gloves.

Altrec/Vendor Response: Bike gloves are going to have more padding since the rider is supporting a good portion of their weight through the hands on the handle bar. Paddlers only have to hold the shaft of the paddle so padding is not as important.
