Product information "Simms Solarflex Guide Glove Overcast"

When fishing in salt water or on hot summer days, you are often exposed to intense sunlight for hours on end. The right clothing to protect you from aggressive UV rays and sunburn is therefore part of the basic equipment on every trip. This is especially true for the hands - because sun cream is not the best solution here. Many creams attack the coating of the line and fishing with greasy fingers is simply no fun. :-)

The SolarFlex® Guide Gloves from Simms are back - and have been specifically developed for maximum durability and improved protection. As the toughest sun gloves in the Simms range, they are the first choice for guides and demanding anglers who need uncompromising protection and durability.

The newly developed palm design completely eliminates exposed seams, minimising the risk of seam failure in high-wear areas. The extremely abrasion-resistant yet sensitive AX Suede™ 10W-90 material is used, which offers optimum grip with controlled slip - perfect for rowing, poling, gripping leaders or when stripping hard-fighting fish.

The back of the hand is made from a lightweight, breathable SolarFlex® stretch material with UPF 50, which offers reliable sun protection and ensures a high level of comfort even on long days. Reduced seams and a flat profile also prevent unnecessary wear and tear from contact with oars, poles or boat edges. The special half-finger-fourchette construction increases dexterity and effectively protects against line burn.

Practical, flat pull loops on two fingers make it easier to remove the gloves - even with wet hands. In short: these gloves are made for extreme use, maximum function and relaxed days under the blazing sun.
