One of the main things I like about this gloves is that it has two loops at the knuckles area that I use when pulling out the glove from my hand. I've always had to struggle with other gloves to put on and take off but this was near effortless to take off! Note that pulling only one loop doesn't work—you have to pull both at the same time for it to be effortless. The velcro wrist strap makes it super easy to put on and tighten. I don't have fleshy wrists so the only negative I can say is that the wrist part rubs against my wrist joint bone and bothers me but only slightly. I believe that if it had some sort of cushioning between the wrist strap part and my wrist, it would be super comfortable. But so far it isn't a serious bother. If after much use it happens to be a bother (which I doubt) I can always wrap a piece of cloth around my wrist before putting on the gloves, or my rash guard or arm sleeves will do the trick. The soft material at the back of the glove feels really nice and comfortable. Even in the sun it has this cooling effect on the back of my hand! The palm of the glove is a different, tougher material but maintains the sensitivity so I can feel the fish biting through the rod. The gloves are fingerless, which I prefer so I can use my tools and tie lines, etc without the need to remove the gloves. There are rough parts at specific parts of the palm that provides me with a strong grip on my rod. While my bare hands will grip the rod way better, I want to protect my hands from damage (you know, those skin damage on the palm you get over time from over gripping and force). This pair of Gil Raker Gloves is another great innovative product from KastKing and I think it can be improved further in the future. This is my main fishing gloves from now. Note: I purchased this item on Amazon and I received it on time and in perfect condition but it still says that it has not been delivered. I don't know if the issue is with the shipping company.

Bought these late in the season but used them quite a bit. The fit is very accurate, not a lot of loose material nor was it too tight to be comfortable. I was just after some light sun gloves to keep the UV off the back of my hands. These gloves are beefy for fishing gloves. Palms made of a thin leather type material. Top made from lightweight sun type fabric. Took a little getting used to but I've grown fond of them. I like the little tabs they have to hook your fingers on when removing. If super thin and lightweight like a huk sun gloves is what you are after then these might not be for you. But if you want a glove that will probably last at least a full season of moderately hard use then I would choose these! I will probably replace these with the same ones whenever they finally give out.

First, let me say that I've always been a Fish Monkey Fishing Gloves fan; however, the Kastking Gil Raker "stubby" gloves aren't bad. First the good: 1. Great Value 2, Decent Fit (don't trust the sizing instructions) 3. Good graphics (Prym 1 Camo patterns) Now the not so good: 1. Quality Control is lacking as some of the seams aren't sewn well (had to re-stitch around the finger pull loops) Kastking fishing gloves aren't as "heavy duty" as some other brands, specifically Fish Monkey; however, for the budget minded recreational angler, they'll be just fine. One thing that Kastking does better than Fish Monkey is design selection. My Gil Raker gloves came in the Prym 1 Patriot design and it looks great. In fact, the Prym 1 designs are great across the board. Beware of the sizing. I measured my hand as illustrated by the advertisement and the gloves were slightly loose. I expected them to be more form fitting. I don't foresee a problem with this going forward, but I thought they'd be a little tighter. So, how can Kastking improve the gloves? 1. Make the stitching more heavy duty and pay attention to Quality Control 2. Double stitch the pull tab anchors ( I had to re-stitch after one use as the seam pulled loose) 3. On the PVC palm pads, add a silicone emblem or silicone lines to enhance grip Overall, the Kastking Gil Raker gloves met my expectations. They are what they are: a budget friendly, entry level fishing glove, that happens to look good. If you're a "recreational" angler, these gloves will be just fine; however, if you're a "hardcore" angler, I'd say go with a premium brand like Fish Monkey. I love Kastking products and for what they are, Gil Raker gloves are more than adequate.

When the gloves arrived they looked like they would be tight but when I tried them on they fit perfect! The size chart was accurate for determining the best fit. I just tried out these gloves fishing this past weekend and it is extremely comfortable. I love the pull tabs - they made it super easy to get the gloves off. They were breathable but padded well. I'm looking forward to using these for other avenues such as kayaking and even raking (to prevent blisters)! Great product, would highly recommend.

I was surprised firstly that they fit me perfectly!!! I have a half dozen gloves that don't fit and these are so comfortable! they keep the nasty bugs off my hands at nite and the sun rays off during the day. I showed a friend that I fish with and he ordered a pair right away... like, there on the spot!!! I use a lot of KK products these days... they know how to make a quality product at a great price and I fish hard pretty much every day! @stripersurfnut

I give five star because is a very good product, a nice fit and quality. Even when they sent me the same right hand, I have two right hand 🤣. But I’m happy and obviously I recommend the brand and the product 💪🏻

These were exactly what I needed. No blisters and better grip on my paddle.

Had to cut off the velcro. Kept digging into my skin. Otherwise, decent.
