Are these gloves good for sailing in general? The finger material will have to be thick enough to not get burned by a rope sliding at high speeds.

I use them for fishing in the winter. I don't have much rope to pull on because I am trolling and my hands are rough to begin with. They would work if you have to pull on rope. Fast moving rope may burn through the glove, they are thin. The glove comes to the first knuckle.

They seem pretty durable, but that's some pretty intense wear. I'm sure they would wear out faster than normal if you were doing that very often. I would worry more about them sliding around when climbing up. They fit well, but with that kind of pull, they might twist on your hand.

They are probably thinner than what you are looking for. They aren't as thick as some cotton gloves that would keep your hands warm that I had when I was younger.

I have "regular" size ladies hands -- and they are big on my hands, but I am able to use them -- and my husband uses them with no problem. They probably would be swimming/too big for you. It is a shame they don't come in "general" sizes (Small, Medium, Large) -- because they are the best gloves we've ever owned and worth every penny!!

Yes, I was concerned about that too, because it is my fingertips that get very cold. These liner heat very quickly also. I wear gloves over the top because these are just liners. I use them on my ATV for snowplowing, and they work perfect. This is my first season with them, and they have held up great so far.

these are not cold weather gloves, they're designed for hand protection/ shooting, protection from the elements was not in their design, yet perspiration will be expelled through material unless it's over 90 degrees, then your SOL

I have large, thick hands, but the gloves stretch quite a bit. I believe they will also shrink up if you put them in the dryer for a while. They should work fine for someone with small hands.

Padding is a bit less with these gloves, but that's probably the case because they are full fingered. However, I think they protect your whole hand very well.

I ordered mine for riding my motorcycle, and I'm going to say they do run true to size. I have thick fingers, so I wanted to make sure they weren't pinched. The finger may end up a little longer, but that's the way it goes. I would agree with LeRox's answer, regarding going one size down if you need to be able to pick up parts without taking the gloves off. Just decide what you're going to use them for the most & go by that.

I have only used them in snow, but I believe they are watertight. The rubbery outer covering seems to completely cover the glove.

Hi there Yes great grip. You can't go wrong with Harbingers gloves. I've been using them for years, same pair still in good condition and I recently bought 2 pairs from Amazon for my partner and he absolutely loves them as he lifts heavy weights. Cheers, Nancy

I've never used one but I bought mine for rowing my dinghy. They are really nice gloves, I'm really happy with them.

these would be too thick for me to work with an SLR, but not impossible. I would look for a 2mm glove and balance the warmth/mobility advantage. For point and shoot cameras, these would work well. I use them on the water with a small camera.

I am not sure on the wind factor. I believe they should keep your hands warm. The pair I purchased were for ice fishing.

They are thinner than other gloves. I would say they don't keep you very warm at that temp. They still keep your hands warm just not as well as other thicker gloves.

I would recommend looking for a Gore-Tex glove for the situation you are asking about. They will be truly water proof and more durable.

I don't think so. The grip with these kind of gloves will be so thick... I use them for gym.
