Protect Glove SP

Get the Catch: We offer the ideal rowing gloves for training, racing, recreational rowing, coastal rowing or tours. Rowing is physically demanding. This is especially evident in a rower’s unique trademark: rough, cracked skin and blisters on the palm of the hand. While sometimes this may be shown off with pride, this can become a painful nuisance whilst rowing. For occasions like these, over the past 10 years we have created ergonomically shaped and hard-wearing rowing gloves, under the name of ROWTEX.

Features and Details

SP stands for Strong Protection – an ideal glove for beginners and anyone who suffers from blisters. The SP is very similar to the LP, with the exception of padding on the areas of the hand that are particularly subject to wear and tear. The glove is pre-curved and therefore adapts perfectly to the round shape of the handle. The material on the palm does not crease, which could cause blisters. A durable Clarino textile on the palm offers ideal protection with just one layer. This thin but strong layer allows maximum feel for the handle and therefore full control over the strap and the boat. Despite its almost indestructible properties, the Clarino textile is very soft and comfortable to wear.

The neoprene cuff with Velcro fastener at the wrist allows for effortless, continuous individual adjustment. Mesh material on the back of the hand and small air holes on the palm guarantee good air circulation and ensure that sweat evaporates thanks to the supply of fresh, cool air.

Design

The SP comes in dark blue, very simple, very neutral, to go with any outfit. A proper piece of equipment for rowing! As a design feature, the SP gloves also feature red and green for port and starboard.

Fit

To meet differing requirements, we have developed various models of ROWTEX rowing gloves. All models offer a tight fit, with no folds or creases creating pressure points. The pre-curved finger position optimises the perfect hand position for effective blade placement.
