I live on an unbridged island & use fingerless gloves to keep my hands warm & safe while dealing with marine rope in strong currents. (Feathered marine rope, e.g lobster rope, is VERY high friction & will give you a hell of a burn if it slips on bare skin). Being fingerless helps deal with knots and fittings in a hurry (try to do it with mittens or fingered gloves and you will see what I mean) and prevents you from having to wear wet gloves all day. These greatly outperform the ones I was wearing before (West Marine), whilst being made of much better materials and inexplicably cheaper. They are comfortable enough to type in. They can be difficult to take off, but this is more of an observation than a criticism since it is typical of the type. I am very impressed. The only way these are “costume quality” is if you are going to a costume party at a drug kingpin’s mansion, and you weren’t invited. $29.00 for these feels like a typo.
