2K Fit Rowing Machine Gloves - Perfect Rowing Grips for Erging, Sculling, Crew, Kayak, Canoe, Weightlifting, Gym Workouts

If you are seeking the best available gloves to use with your indoor rowing machine, then look no further!I'm new to rowing and recently purchased a Peloton Row. Everyone boasts about how great of a low-impact workout rowing is (and it is) but never mentions that it will destroy your hands. So much that I could only get 1 - 2 quality row workouts in a week to give my hands time to heal. See the attached photo showing what my hands look like after one rowing session, not wearing gloves.Despite following expert advice in not gripping too hard, it didn't make a difference for me. I decided to invest in a pair of good rowing gloves. To my surprise, there aren't many options out there, and I did heavy research. I started out by testing seven different gloves before the 2K gloves, including:1) Kayak gloves2) Hornet row gloves3) Two different brands of weight-lifting gloves4) MTB gloves (both full glove and half glove)5) Outdoor working gloves (from Costco) --- these actually weren't bad, and way better than the other gloves I tested, but no comparison to the 2K gloves.Yesterday I used the 2K gloves over two 30-minute rowing classes and crushed my prior best output because my hands actually felt good, and no new blisters formed. I was honestly shocked and had zero expectations. These gloves have a gel-like feel which makes a huge difference. The design is interesting, and it works well, keeping the tops of my hands relatively cool. I still wouldn't mind a version with full coverage.I can see how the fit may not be fully dialed in for some. I ordered a size large (I wear large / XL gloves), and they are the perfect fit for me. I was initially concerned that there would be too much extra material in the palm area (which, with other gloves, extra material can compress/bunch together and form blisters). However, that was not the case at all. I was also concerned that I'd get blisters on the exposed parts of my fingers, but these gloves stretch up my fingers nicely during the Drive portion of my stroke.My biggest concern is if these will hold up over time. Realistically speaking, will I get 6 - 12 months out of these? I don't think the stitching is great. I noticed a few areas where I had to cut some excess threading that was starting to unravel before I even used the gloves. I also don't know how durable the material is on the palms, and how that will hold up. I can tell that these gloves are manufactured in smaller batches and have a bit of a DIY feel.That being said, I don't care because they are the ONLY gloves so far that have not formed new blisters and allow me to focus on maintaining better form and output because I'm no longer worried about my hands. I may purchase a second set to have because my indoor rowing experience would not be complete without these.

I've had a Concept 2 for about 5 years. For three years, I absolutely loved it. But by then, the handle was deteriorating, and I got a new one. For some reason the new handle kept giving me blisters, and so I only rowed once a week at most, and had to deal with blisters each time. Then I purchased these gloves, and they have been so wonderful. They have helped me reconnect with rowing as party of my regular fitness regimen. They are super effective and don't make you hot by wearing them. Could not more highly recommend this product to anyone who rows.

I do like how these row gloves protect my hands from calluses. They do offer a good quality pad for my grip. Just enough to be quality and not get in the way of being able to properly grip the row handle. They are also nice not being a full glove for hand sweating purposes.The one problem is my Apple Watch. The strap that wraps around my wrist happens to be the same spot as my Apple Watch. I can work around it by trying to put the watch up a bit further but that feels a bit funky. It also hasn’t -to my knowledge- skewed my workout results.It’s something that I didn’t think about coming from a full glove with a lower strap. Yes, the picture clearly shows where the wrist straps will wrap but I just didn’t think of that at the time of purchase.It’s definitely something to think about if you use your watch to record a workout.

Most of the rowing glove options are exactly that - gloves. Some with fingers. Most without. Padded palms. But these 2K gloves are very different. Pretty much a palm pad with finger loops and a hook & loop wrist wrap.They don't look like gloves and don't feel like gloves. But functionally, they are perfect for protecting your palms and fingers while rowing. I've erged around 500,000 meters on these so far and they still perform as well as the 1st meter.One recommendation: Take the time to measure your hands and look at the measurements of the gloves to get the best fit before ordering. I saw several reviews with complaints about the size, but mine fit exactly according to the product chart.One very minor complaint - the wrist band does a double wrap to keep them secure but on my wrists, the strap just barely reaches the fuzzy loops. That strap could be another 1" longer for a better fit. Its not enough of a fault to knock back a "star" as it doesn't affect the overall performance of the product.

I did not like how the glove separated my fingers. It hurt to row.

One of the best gloves to use for Row and Ski erg.

We’ve gone thru many gloves and these are easy to put on and keeps the blisters down. My husband uses these five times a week for rowing 30 minutes at a time. Wont row without them

This product has been amazing for me as a new rower. Cardio already sucks, and being able to build calouses more slowly without blistering is defenitely making it easier to commit.My only complaint with the product is that the wrist straps make no logical sense as far as sizing. There are two velcro attachments as this wraps your wrist twice. The first can be lined up exactly, but the second will barely reach. It would honetly work better if i cut off part of the wrist strap.
