I am an extremely sun conscious person being highly aware of the damage UV rays can do both aesthetically and in terms of health. I do use sunscreen daily be it summer or winter, rain or shine but it can be unpleasant to apply no matter how great or cosmetically elegant the formula. To boot, it is easily rubbed off areas like the hands and frequent reapplication can get right in the way of your fun! I have been searching for the ideal pair of sun protective gloves for a long time now and have had an impossible time finding ones which were comfortable, attractive and of a certified/reliable UPF.

I was absolutely thrilled to find palm free gloves! I wear them daily and just love them (maybe a little too much as I now have 7 pairs to match my favourite outfits!) They are incredibly comfortable and attractive with a colour range which allows you to compliment your outfit be it sporty, chic or out-and-out party! The palm free idea is absolutely fantastic and novel. Unlike every other pair of sun gloves I have owned (which get clammy, hot, uncomfortable, slip around and just don’t look great) I literally forget that I have them on! They are so lightweight and don’t impede me at all no matter what activity I am doing. These truly are the very best sun protective gloves available anywhere in the world. Huge thanks guys!

…the very best sun protective gloves available anywhere in the world

Hi Patricia,  So glad I found Palmfree Sunwear. I was re-applying sunblock on the back of my right hand every 2-3 holes but my RH still got too much color. And it was a pain and sweaty to remove two gloves on every green. Recently I used my Palmfree to go jet-skiing to Stingray City in Grand Cayman! I think the stingrays liked the bright orange color.
Thanks!

Another Happy Golfer

Hello.  I’m a semi-pro walleye fisherman and I spend countless hours in a boat out in the ruthless sun.  I was looking for something to keep the backs of my hands from sunburning so badly– and you came thru!!!  I rate these as a perfect 10!!!  Lightweight, easy on/off, comfortable, cool and leaving my fingers open for dexterity.  Definitely a winner here– good job!!!

A pair of gloves arrived on Monday. I wore them while playing golf this morning and am delighted with their lightness and total protection.
Thanks for your help.

Delighted with their lightness and total protection

Every winter I get itchy painful chapped knuckles. It starts as soon as it gets cold and I battle it all winter long. I always thought it was due to cold, dryness, washing hands and/or eczema due to stress. Nothing relieves it. So a couple of days ago after my first day of wearing my winter coat my red chapped burning knuckles appeared! Then I realized that it is from jamming my hands in and out of my pockets to grab phone or lip balm and also jamming my hands height tight abrasive ribbing on cuff of sleeves! Abrasion!  I immediately started wearing the palms free whenever I wear my coat to to protect my knuckles. Problem solved! Amazing right?!

Love my hot pink gloves!!

Recently, I bought a pair of your palm free gloves.  They are great.  I am a tennis professional in Naples, Florida and would like to represent your product . There are many people that are interested in protecting there hands and arms.  I have had skin cancer on my hand from teaching and playing out in the sun.  Its hard to protect your hands with lotion and still grip the racket.  What a fabulous product!
Thank you!

Tennis Pro Loves Our Gloves

I’m loving my gloves and wanted to order 3 more for myself (to keep in the car) and a pair as a Christmas gift for a friend. I wanted 3 pairs of the Active gloves in S (1 X black with black stitching, 1 X white with white stitching and 1 X orange) and 1 X pair XS: black with black stitching. So that’s 4 pairs in total (3 X S and 1 X XS). Would you be able to email me the PayPal invoice and link as you did last time?

Many thanks Patricia – hope you are well!
Kind regards,

VERY PLEASED with your product and service. Especially like working with a local company.  I am very sun sensitive and playing golf here in the Arizona sun, I need to cover my right hand. I had been using a cotton glove, taking it off when I hit the ball. Your glove  works perfectly, protecting the back of my hand while allowing me to grip the club. The size of the large glove is generous and I am not conscious of it as it protect my hand. Will be suggesting that our Golf Shop inventories them.

Today I used the left hand glove on my right hand and it worked fine. Maybe you need an option of 2 right hand golfs for golfers.

Send me pictures of your store display when you have it  developed and I will talk to our pro shop at the Rolling Hills Golf Club in SE Tucson.

Just a side comment. You can shake hand with the glove on.

A Satisfied Golfer

This is the best design ever. I had no problem at all. My hands look soooo much younger in just this short amount of time. I love playing tennis in them. 

Medication has caused me to wear sun clothing from head to toe and the improvement in my skin has been amazing! My hands have been a problem as sunscreen on the grip of my racquet is not a good thing!

I am sure all my tennis team ladies are going to want these!

So happy with your product and I posted on my FB page for all my tennis player friends photos and web address.

“I’ve been wearing the gloves this week while driving and they’re perfect. They fit perfectly, don’t hinder me, so I’m really happy with my purchase. I’ll recommend them to my friends!”

Prevent sun damage while driving!

I had a squamous cell carcinoma removed from my right hand at the base of the thumb and my forefinger.  Fortunately the movement was not compromised but the removal did require a skin graft. This is now very delicate and exposed and I have to keep my hand out of the sun. The gloves are great doing the job fine.  As I have to wear them whenever I am outdoors I ordered the colours that go with the clothing I wear.

Post-Surgical Sun Protection

Patricia,
Your story is so admirable and fascinating to me as I had been sewing cotton cutouts with elastic bands around the wrist and little skinny elastic bands for the first finger to protect my very sensitive hands….a sample made for me by another skin challenged tennis player who actually plays tennis covered from head to toe with big sunglasses. I have light skin, too, and have already had some precancerous growths burned off on my hands and arms and back…am always covered since my 20’s, but the sun still got through!! I cycle, too, and had to find a website for brims to fit my helmet. Your material and open palm product is so perfect for tennis…and I ‘m delighted to know I can use them for swimming, too!

I think you have created a much needed product, and I tell all my tennis pals about how much I love them. I show them that my palm is free for grasping the racquet as some thought they were a fancy fashion statement that I used for gripping it. But all of those ladies have signs of sun damage!! I have thinning skin as I am getting up there…so, my thanks yo you….and I am so impressed with the work you do as a dermatologist for those who can’t afford that care!!!

So nice to support those efforts. Please keep me posted on any other products that you are able to develop. I am a fan!!
