Rowing Gloves

Fitted just right happy with performance

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 gloves 2) Hornet row gloves 3) Two different brands of weight-lifting gloves 4) 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.

The 2K Fit gloves are great if you have problems with your hands. You will have to adjust your grip slightly when wearing them for the first couple of times. These are great gloves if your hands are sore (not from blisters) .

A few years ago I had surgry on my hand, which was successful for pain management but left my hand weaker than it was before. When I started working out on the rowing machine, I found it difficult to hang on to the handle easily. These gloves have really helped and my workout has improved becaused I'm not struggling to hang on. The grip feels solid, and the gloves help balance out the pull across my hand and wrist. Well worth it.
