You Really Should…

As a full time fishing guide I spend a lot of time in the sun. With that being said, I’ve never been one to wear sun gloves. I always found reasons not to wear them, even with having cancerous growths burnt off my face multiple times. Finally after a long time client/friend had a heart to heart with me regarding his brother’s battle with skin cancer I broke down and bought these. Since receiving these Simms sun gloves I haven’t ran a day without them. In fact, I bought two pairs so I could switch them out when they get funky. It took a couple of days to get used to them and now I don’t notice.

Solarflex® Sunglove

Bought these to replace an older version that were wearing out after years of hard use. New version fits great and has a longer length which great as it layers under a long sleeve sun shirt better than the old ones.

Great Product

These gloves are true to size, comfortable, and provide the needed sun protection down here in SW FL. I have two pairs, one pair gets wet and contacts fish on a regular basis and the other pair exclusively for fly casting, clean and never wet.

Solarflex® Sunglove 2025

Disappointed! I like the extended middle and index leather padding for line handling and protection against line burns, however, the gloves would be so much better fully formed with a leather palm - gloves similar to the Cam Sigler sun gloves of old would be ideal!

They Work

Have several pair that I keep in different packs. I won’t fish without them anymore. They do a great job in keeping my fingers and wrists from getting burned.

Best Fly Fishing Gloves

I have been through many gloves and these are all I use now for fly fishing. They expose the right amount of palm, cover your wrist, and cover your fingers for maximum stripping. I wish the fingers were a bit longer as I have to use stripping finger gloves still.

I've Been Wearing Simms Solarflex

I've been wearing Simms SolarFlex sun gloves for the last decade. Every few years, Simms redesigns these gloves. The latest version is far less useful than previous versions. The index finger is too short, resulting in line cuts when fighting saltwater fish. The glove ends exactly where backing contacts your index finger. Older versions had a much longer index finger. Durability has always been an issue with these gloves, but I could overlook that. The shortened index finger has caused me to look elsewhere for fishing gloves.

Sun Gloves

Awesome keep your hand from sunburns and dry quickly

Like Second Skin

These gloves are so comfortable and thin. They have great hems that don’t come unraveled like others and are reinforced in just the right places. I love the snap together feature, so they ont get separated!

Work Great

Super gloves that are comfortable and provide sun protection for the back of your hands without hindering your fishing.

Best There Is

Absolutely the most comfortable and well designed Sun gloves I’ve ever worn.

The Ultimate Fishing Gloves

I love the SolarFlex sunglove, because they have a great design, providing confort, sun protetion and quick drying features. Their highlight for me is the hole in the palm, which gives the angler a quick and easy way to free their hands to handle fish avoiding touching them with some fabric, therefore maximizing a healthy release.

Lightweight Gloves

Love these! I wear them hiking and fishing. They protect my hands from the brutal AZ sun and they have ventilation in the palm that helps keep them cool. Open fingertips are great for doing things without taking them on and off. Very light weight. I forget I have them on sometimes.

Sun Glove Protection.

These gloves are worth the purchase. Great sun protection and for those who streamer fish keeps that line burn to a minimum. Still not sure why the palms are cut out.

Perfect

Nice and light and able to feel the line … perfect.
