<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'><span style='font-family:Optima'>Does anyone have any suggestions for the best erging/sculling gloves. I erg for an hour daily and my Home Depot gloves aren't working out that well. I've also tried my cycling gloves, but they were to bulky.<br /><br />This summer I am going to a rowing camp, where they say that we'll be doing 4-6 hours of intensive sculling per day. Suggestions as to the best all-around gloves are welcome.</span></span> <br /><br /><span style='font-size:21pt;line-height:100%'><span style='font-family:Optima'><b>Thanks!</b></span></span>

Anything with lace should be fine.

Tribum,<br />Your best bet is to build up some calluses (spelling?).

I like wearing gloves for lots of things, including rowing on my erg. Particularly for rowing long distances, I think they help. I don't worry too much about not being a manly man. Although, I have stopped wearing them lately for some reason. I don't notice a big difference callous-wise either way.<br /><br />I used these:<br /><br /><a href='http://nrsweb.com/shop/product.asp?pfid=2430&deptid=944' target='_blank'>NRS boaters gloves</a><br /><br />The leather is nice, and they are light and comfortable. They have no pad on the palm. The strap is awkward how it wraps around and is stiff. I don't like them for wiping the sweat off my forehead because the velcro strap can scrap your face. I try to wear a sweat band on my wrist for long rows.

But I have an office job... Calluses I have them already - just trying to prevent more.

Harbinger makes lots of gloves.<br />I like the Crosstrainers ($7-12) because you can get them wet.<br /><a href='http://www.harbingerfitness.com/flash/c ... 67red.html' target='_blank'>http://www.harbingerfitness.com/flash/c ... tml</a><br /><br />After time the leather on lifting gloves bunch up and cause blisters. Plus when they get wet your hands turn black.<br /><br />Since I started using the Crosstrainer gloves I haven't any hand blisters. I also use them under my Home Depot gloves when I'm working in the yard.

Ordered 2 pair, since I may start outrigger paddling once in a while with my brother-in-law. $30 for tax and shipping for 2 pair, I figured what the heck.
