Tested a pair of Glacier Glove against a pair of Mossy Oak Rock Fish glove. Both are rated at UPF 50+. Had to order the Glacier Glove on line at $14.59. The Mossy Oak Rock fish i just walk into Academy sports and they were $13.96. That is including all taxes and fee's on both.

Overall grip performed better on the Carbon Fiber scoop handle with the Mossy Oak. The Glacier glove was a lot slicker. I think it is not only a better faux leather on the Mossy oak, but it is also on 3 fingers not two. And also the design of the one piece palm faux leather. The Faux leather is 100% Polyurethane based synthetic leather. Not sure on the Glacier glove?

The Mossy Oak appears to be a good bit more robust than the Glacier Glove. Not that anything lasts forever. But in my opinion the Mossy oak brand should outlast the Glacier glove.

So in conclusion, if you need to wear gloves for sun/blister protection in warm weather, i'd say the Mossy oak wins hands down!

I have used different dive gloves over the years that cover all fingers and Velcro onto the wrist. Really like them with the surf here.

This is one of the best reviews I've seen in awile , much better than you know who's garbage. And I'm looking forward to your other sun clothing reviews. Some of you are aware of some of my skin cancer issues. Went for another checkup yesterday and have a few more spots on my face. Pre-cancer , nothing major but will require some special topical medications for a few weeks. This is all from being a outdoor/beach guy my whole life and not using sunscreen or staying protected much. Now it's different. Always looking for hats , gloves , long sleeves , etc. Take care of yourself guys if you spend alot of time outdoors. Thanks Larry !

If your skin Doc prescribed you Flourouracil cream it can burn a bit. Mine told me to start with my hands, then lower forearms, then upper forearms. I just went ahead and got it over with. But it wasn't fun.

Come back later with a follow up! I use weight lifting gloves because I like the cut out fingers. I used to use neoprene and cut off for the fingers but they don't last as long.
