Last year Lidl had cheap sailing gloves - I can't remember how much but as they were so cheap I bought several pairs meaning to use them as almost disposable. I'm still on the first pair after a year of Osprey sailing.......

I use the Harken ones (I do have a big Harken logo on the sail though) and I have tried both styles. Both last really well and I usually expect a pair to last a season. But as James says the sheet loads on the Musto are not that high - I think my gloves get more wear in the 12 |

I crewed the cherub with no gloves once before and there was blood, lots of blood!
That 3mm kite halyard really made a mess of my fingers! I swear by the cheap bright orange builders gloves. Multiple purchases makes them cheap and just throw them away after a few sessions. |

 What boats do you sail and how often do you use the gloves?
