I love The Crew Stop gloves for two reasons. First they protect my hands which allows for more sessions and more meters without dealing with blisters and hand infections. Secondly, they provide a bit more grip through the palm which allows me to focus on maintaining flat wrists while still having solid connection with the oar, even when they are wet.

I struggle with grip issues on the water. After a long fall season of sore hands and forearms, I started using The Crew Stop gloves and it has helped immensely. Whether you use them for grip issues or to prevent blisters, I highly recommend rowing with these gloves. The gloves are the best and a game changer.

I started using The Crew Stop gloves in college at Texas and they are now an essential in my rowing bag.

I’ve been using crew stop rowing gloves since returning to training at the end of 2025, after taking a break post 2024 Olympics, and they’ve been a game changer. The biggest difference for me has been how much they reduce the impact of blisters, especially during that initial period back when your hands are still toughening up again.

They also really come into their own in rough water. The extra grip they provide on the handle gives you a lot more confidence and control, even when conditions aren’t ideal!!

I have been using the Crew Stop Gloves for a while and won the World Cup in Varese using them. For me personally, the grip elements on the gloves make a huge difference.

What I like the most about the gloves has to be the days we do long steady states, I feel like I can just focus on going hard and on my technique without the feeling of achy hands and forming blisters.

We’re proud to say these gloves are part of our journey, and we wouldn’t want to face the ocean without them!

The gloves were a game changer. Rowing from Tete, Mozambique through to Zambia was extremely demanding — long hours, heat, fatigue, and constant pressure on the hands. Without your gloves, I honestly believe I would have returned to Uganda with serious palm injuries. Instead, I finished the expedition strong, confident, and protected. They weren’t just gloves — they were essential equipment that helped carry us to success.

The Race to Alaska is 750 nautical miles of no mercy, traversing challenging waters and a significant amount of rowing; at times over eight hours straight.

I’ve been using The Crew Stop gloves for stand‑up paddleboarding since 2023 when a friend recommended them for my 82-mile paddle across the ocean from Bimini to FL on SUP! I knew I needed something to protect my hands from hot spots and blisters and also to keep my hands from slipping. With these gloves, I haven’t had a single blister! They’re comfortable and provide just the right amount of grip. I barely notice I’m wearing them, but I definitely notice the difference when I’m not. Love these gloves!!

As a UAE national dragon boat athlete and Dubai Diggers Premier captain, I put my hands through extreme demands. During my challenge of 32 consecutive days of 32 rowing marathons an unofficial world record the gloves became essential equipment. Day after day, they protected my hands, maintained grip, and allowed me to keep pushing without compromise. When consistency and durability matter most, these gloves deliver.

It's important to look after your hands when you are training up to 30km in a session and rowing over 100km on the day of the Solstice Row. Bad blisters can easily keep you off the water for a week or more. The Crew Stop very kindly donated a set of sculling gloves to keep me going in the build up to the event. Thanks so much, 14 1/2 hours on the water and no sore hands.
