Quick take
Quick-drying three-quarter-finger gloves with UPF 50+ protection and easy-on pull tabs for wet-weather fishing.
These Buff Aqua Gloves are a sun-shielding fishing glove with UPF 50+ fabric, covering the back of the hand while leaving the fingertips free for tying knots and handling tackle. The three-quarter-finger cut, silicone-coated palm and pull tabs make them easy to slip on and off with wet hands. A polyester and spandex blend dries quickly, a good fit for long days on open water.
Best for
- Long days on the water protecting hands from UV rays
- Wet conditions where you need to pull them off quickly
- Kayak and bank fishing
Skip if
- You fish in cold water; these are designed for sun protection, not warmth
- You need full-finger coverage for handling sharp tackle
Strengths
- UPF 50+ protection meets Skin Cancer Foundation criteria
- Three-quarter fingers give freedom while protecting forearms
- Pull tabs let you remove gloves with one hand while wet
Trade-offs
- Three-quarter design leaves fingertips exposed
- Spandex blend loses elasticity over time with salt spray
- Thin enough that you feel sharp hooks or shells through them
