A grippy palm on your right/feathering hand and a smooth palm on your left/drive hand to allow the oar handle to rotate freely.

Key Features:

  • Field-tested rowing gloves custom designed by rowers for rowers
  • Silicone on palm and fingers improves oar grip, even while wet
  • Lightweight palm material is thin, breathable, and quick drying
  • Durable, flexible elastic provides snug fit through fingers
  • Velcro wrist closure allows for secure and adjustable fit

  • Sizing

    Please note: Our newest model of Port Sweeps has a stronger elastic material on the finger straps than ever before. They may feel tight at first, but will relax slightly in as little as ten minutes of rowing. Before trying them on, we recommend tugging a few times on each elastic finger strap to ensure a comfortable fit for your first row.

    Unisex Size Palm Circumference
    X-Small < 18 cm
    Small 18 - 19.5 cm
    Medium 19.5 - 21 cm

    XX-Large 24 cm +

    Measure the circumference of your palm at the widest point with your fingers outstretched.

    If you're on the border between two sizes and your fingers or wrists are thick, go with the larger size.

Customer service

I am very impressed by customer service. I asked by email to have starboard sweeps added to my order, prompt reply on the same Saturday evening from crewstop and the whole order arrived at my home in UK four days later . Excellent. And the gloves are perfect.

I love my new gloves! I use them for longer rows such as our club’s half marathon. It keeps the blisters at bay, and expedites the callus process. These have made rowing practice more enjoyable, even when the boat isn’t set.

excellent customer service

I measured and ordered a pair of M, but it turned out that I needed a L just because I have big knuckles and long hands. I messaged via email and got quick replies and easy exchange. The gloves were almost unnoticeable while rowing, they didn't interfere at all wtih my grip and instead improved it. Great product and company!

One of a kind!

These are perfect rowing gloves, also very subtle, and I’ve been using them intermittently to build up my calluses. They’re excellent

Great gloves

I got my gloves a few weeks ago and have really enjoyed them so far - they definitely stop my blistering and allow me to focus on the rest of the row rather than the pain in my hands! The sizing chart was perfect also. Definitely listen to them when they say the gloves will feel a bit tight at first but will quickly relax.

Port Sweeps

These gloves have helped me get back into rowing without the pain of blisters! I hardly notice I'm wearing them. I wasn't sure if I was a size M or L so I ordered both. Stuck with the size L and customer service to return the other pair was great.
