XCEL outrigger gloves are the ideal warm weather half finger canoe paddling gloves. They have durable but soft leather palms that extend down the thumb and fingers, stretch nylon backs for a tight comfortable fit, and seams in the right places so you won't develop blisters. I have worn out two pairs of NRS gloves over the last eight years, but the XCEL gloves are a major improvement and my hands are thankful for the switch. The best price ($25) is to buy directly from XCEL with their free shipping policy.
