Txscout Posted November 4, 2013 Report Posted November 4, 2013 I kind of guessing that this topic belongs here... Any ways on to what this is about. Today when i was flying i decided that it would be a good idea to get a pair of gloves for flying so i dont keep getting line burns. The hardest part i think will be finding some that still give me good grip on the line(maybe even better). What do you guys use and what should i look for? Quote
mystainedskin Posted November 4, 2013 Report Posted November 4, 2013 Right now I have some mechanix brand . They have a leather palm and fingers. I don't use them a bunch, but its nice to know they are there on those strong wind days. I actually get worse line burn using gliders than my slk's. My fingers are pretty wore out and have hard spots of skin....by the time I feel it....its usually too late and a new life line has been added to my hand Quote
Reef Runner Posted November 4, 2013 Report Posted November 4, 2013 Sailing Gloves are great. Leather palms, no fingers.............(great for tying & un-tying knots, etc) That's what I've always used, when messing with the single line kites.... Just Google them up and order.......... Quote
Txscout Posted November 4, 2013 Author Report Posted November 4, 2013 Sailing gloves would definatly be a good investment since i also enjoy sailing:) Should i get 1/2, 3/4, or full finger? Quote
Reef Runner Posted November 4, 2013 Report Posted November 4, 2013 Sailing gloves would definatly be a good investment since i also enjoy sailing:) Should i get 1/2, 3/4, or full finger? 3/4 would be perfect. You don't want full finger, because you won't be able to handle the knots, etc. PM sent........ Quote

John Barresi Posted November 18, 2013 Report Posted November 18, 2013 Not like any kite shops have a monopoly on glove sales, it's all good sir - spread the love. 1 Quote

bbailey49 Posted November 22, 2013 Report Posted November 22, 2013 It's cool, those are sold by ITW, fulfilled by Amazon, and KL gets a cut. Perfect purchase. 1 Quote
