Crewroom Pogies Sculling And Rowing

Product Information

I hope to try to shed some light on these issues to novice rowers. I am no expert on blisters but I have dealt with them in the past using my Concept2 Rower. So I know a little more than the first timer and how to deal with them. While keeping my hands free of blisters, I was very impressed with the way these gloves kept my hands cool through third of rowing. Their design seemed to have been focused around keeping my hands comfortable for as long as possible, and they succeed in doing so. If I could have, I would have liked to tighten the straps on my wrists a little bit, but that’s because my wrists are a little skinny. But, if you are looking for coverage of more than 1/2 for your fingers, keep looking, as this product is not for you. This pair of gloves is not as suitable for indoor rowing as the ones mentioned above. This is one sort of padded coverage for your palm area only. So if you are looking for rowing gloves that can give you coverage for the entire hand, keep looking for other products, as this one will secure your palms only.

They are nice because they allow your hand to breathe but you can also do other workouts while wearing them.
