question for kayakers
 

I've managed to raise a few nasty blisters between thumb and forefinger while kayaking on the Cape this summer.
Can anyone recommend a brand of gloves that worked for them?
(I don't need anything for warmth, just for blisters.)
Thanks.

I use an old pair of fingerless gym gloves made of neoprene and nylon, no leather or fake leather palms They look something like this but they do have a covering on the thumb and between the thumb and forefinger http://tinyurl.com/bpfgbte

Sorry, there's no label left on my gloves to see the name, but there must be something like them still out there

Bike gloves should work. I'm going to try them next time I go kayaking.

My gloves are Kokatat - bought them at a water sports store- they don't have much padding but there is a leather insert between thumb and forefinger - I think bike gloves would work too- maybe with a little more padding than these have- but I have never had a blister.

Thanks for your suggestions.
One person on my thread on the Lounge suggested zinc tape as another option.
Of course, I now realize that whatever I decide to use should go on BEFORE going out on the water!

I think you need a pair of cute ( and functional) gloves- not zinc tape- what kind of a look is that- even if if did work.
