Spectrum 3/4 Finger Gloves, Blue, (Junior Medium)

I cannot give a full review since I have not had a chance to put these gloves into use on the water and won't until spring arrives, but at first glance I'm pleased with them. They seem to have quality construction and would provide well-protected gripping surfaces, while the mesh back should keep them from getting too warm. I do find them snugger than expected and the pink finger especially is oddly tight. I got them in medium as I do not have large hands. I would caution about the sizing and error toward a larger size. The tab at the wrist opening for tugging them on is useful, but likewise pulling them off is not as easy. Again making sure they are not too small will help there.

These gloves are sturdy and well made. I expect I'll get at least a few seasons out of them. I sized my hand according to the chart on the Harken sight and ordered medium size. Though the Amazon advert said "Men's" gloves, I think these might be sized for women. They're a tight enough fit that I have to use my teeth on the fingers to get them off. However, they're comfortable while I'm wearing them, and a snug fit seems to make line handling easier.

The fit was snug, the way I was hoping. It is a big hard to get on and off, but that is the fit I wanted for pulling lines. Medium fit me well. In term of surgical gloves, I am a 7.5, if that is useful for anyone. The gloves were wet, actually soaked in the middle of a storm, and the material simply dried and felt the same as out of the box. This definitely saved me from some rope burns during my first foray into sailing. The grip on lines was good and appropriate.

I have very long fingers, and I also have experienced finger-skin removal by spinnaker halyard (long story). These gloves are high quality and very comfortable -- but the XLs were just too short on the fingers, leaving the knuckle nearest the fingertips fully exposed. Get them large; I've sent these back and had to order the XXLs from another source (XXL not avail on Amazon). If your hands are perhaps normally sized, or small, these are otherwise excellent gloves.

Very well constructed product. Measurement guide on line was also very helpful, and gloves fitted my son's hands even though we didn't have an actual sized product to try fitting. Will recommend it strongly. My son was using a pair of cycling gloves before this and he has not complained of any blisters despite the heavy use of the new Harken gloves (twice weekly) and so far about 12 times usage including June holiday sailing during the weekdays. Easy to care and wash as well. Hope it lasts till he outgrows it.

GREAT water gloves.I bought these for a week-long trip down the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. They were exactly as expected: good fit, no blisters even when on the oars all day, great performance when wet.Stitching was excellent - very high quality leather and fabrics. I had zero stitch breaks. The gloves dried well overnight. I highly recommend them for any water sports.I have large hands, and ordered extra large based on the sizing recommendations. They fit perfectly.These gloves would also work well at the gym.

I've tried several different brands of sailing gloves and they inevitably disintegrate over the course of a season. I've only had these gloves for about a month, but they seem to be of better quality construction than others I've used, and more importantly, the tough leather(-like?) material covers all of the front of the hand, so I expect these will last longer. They have excellent grip and are quite comfortable. I do have to remember the extra velcro catch inside the closure that takes a bit of extra effort to release, but that makes me confident they won't come undone on their own.

I use these for dinghy racing and haven’t used them for very long but they seem like they’ll hold up well.

Love the glove, they fit excellent and the delivery was as posted.
