Polypro Gloves

You’re ticking off your compulsory gear list the night before the race. Dry bag, jacket, duct tape — check. Then you hit "thermal gloves". Shit. You grab your old ski gloves. They are thick, bulky, and overkill. Maybe there’s still that crusty pair of gardening gloves in the shed — the ones you stopped using when Coast to Coast training took over your every weekend. Deep down, you know neither will cut it. At Canterbury Kayaking, we’ve seen too many paddlers show up with gloves that technically meet the rules, but would fail when it actually matters. That’s why we recommend Earth Sea Sky’s Polypro Gloves. Made in New Zealand from 100% polypropylene, they’re race-legal, lightweight, and crucially, warm even when wet. While others scramble at scrutineering, you’ll breeze through, confident you’ve got the right gear for whatever the race throws at you.
