NRS - Guide Gloves

Long days on the oars or the paddle shaft take a real toll on your hands, and the NRS Guide Gloves are built to take the punishment so your hands don't have to.

Originally designed with raft guides in mind, these gloves protect the back and palm of the hand where blisters and abrasion build up fastest over consecutive days on the water. The 1.5 mm neoprene construction provides meaningful blister protection and cushioning with just enough insulation to take the edge off on cool mornings, without the bulk that kills your feel for the paddle or oar. An open-finger design keeps your dexterity intact for rigging, adjusting gear, and any task that needs fingertip sensitivity.

The silicone palm pattern maintains a positive, confident grip even when your hands and the shaft are soaking wet, which on Canadian rivers and lakes is most of the time. An extended wrist design adds coverage for sun protection on long exposed crossings and makes the gloves easier to pull on and off quickly. Pairing snaps on the wrists keep them together in your dry bag or gear pile so you're not hunting for a missing glove at the put-in.
