Photo by Nome Buckman - SUNwt. Gloves by 12wt.
This is the first of two glove styles that 12wt., a new brand in fly fishing, will have to offer in the near future. My first thought when looking at these gloves was that they were going to bunch up between my fingers and be very uncomfortable, like every other glove I’ve tried. In fact, I’m not a fan of angling gloves at all, but these gloves (featured in the image above) from 12wt. are amazing. Within seconds I forgot I even had gloves on. I wore them for the rest of the day working at the computer.
The unique way that the fingers are finished makes these gloves literally disappear once on. The fabric is soft and supple, almost like a second skin. I was concerned that the material would be hot or not breath well, yet I did not suffer from any discomfort at all while wearing them for several hours. If asked, I would highly recommend these gloves for sun protection or even early or late season fishing for an extra layer of warmth and they make you look like you know what you’re doing. These gloves would also do double duty during the cooler season for photography. Stay tuned, more great gloves to come!
Tight Lines, Nome
