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

Key Features:

  • 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 Starboard 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

    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.

First try: they work

I'm writing this review after one trial of about 20 mins row up to 26/28 in an 8, part of a longer outing. They are a challenge to put on. They worked to protect my blistered hands. It was possible to row with them on. Glad I bought them , to save my hands from about mid outing.

3rd pair

The new pair is very tight but does loosen up
A bit with use. I use them for long rows ( on water and Erg) and competitions as my hands slip when wet and they give me a good grip.
