Highlights

Touchscreen fingertips, so they stay on

A sun glove you have to remove for every message is a glove you stop wearing. These work the phone without coming off.

UPF 50+

Over 98 percent of ultraviolet blocked, on the back of the hand - the patch of skin that gets the most sun and the least sunscreen.

Touchscreen compatible

Answer a message, take a photo or check a map without pulling them off. That is what makes them get worn.

About 20 g a pair

Thin nylon and spandex, so you keep the feel of a handlebar, a steering wheel, a camera or a fishing rod.

Stretch fit

86 percent nylon and 14 percent spandex moves with the hand instead of bunching across the knuckles.

Product description

About this product

Naturehike Outdoor Sunscreen Gloves – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Tanzania.

The backs of your hands get more sun than almost anywhere else on your body and less sunscreen than anywhere at all, because you wash them, sweat on them and touch things with them all day. Over years of driving, riding, fishing and gardening in Tanzanian sun, that adds up – which is why sun gloves are commonplace among people who spend their working day outdoors here.

These are UPF 50+ in an 86.1 percent nylon and 13.9 percent spandex knit, blocking over 98 percent of ultraviolet. They are thin – about 20 g the pair – which is the point. Thick gloves take away the feel you need on a handlebar, a steering wheel, a camera or a fishing rod, so they come off and stop protecting you. These keep the grip and the dexterity.

The detail that decides whether a sun glove is actually worn is the touchscreen fingertip, and these have it. Answer a message, take a photograph, check a map – without removing anything. A glove you take off six times an hour is one you leave in the car.

They are stretchy enough that one size covers a range of hands, and they come in black, grey and green. They suit driving, boda and bicycle riding, fishing, gardening, hiking and photography.

Questions

Good to know

What does UPF 50+ actually mean?

It means the fabric lets through less than one fiftieth of the ultraviolet reaching it - over 98 percent blocked. Tanzania sits near the equator, so the UV index here runs high all year, not just in the middle of the day or in the hot months. Fabric protection does not wear off or wash away the way sunscreen does.

Do the touchscreen fingertips actually work?

Yes, on the fingertips used for tapping and swiping. Wet or very sweaty fingers reduce the response on any touchscreen glove, so dry them first if the screen stops responding.

Will one size fit my hands?

The S/M stretch fit covers most adult hands. If you have particularly large hands, come to the Dar es Salaam showroom and try a pair before you buy.

Are they warm?

No, and they are not meant to be. They are thin sun gloves, not cold-weather gloves - the whole design is about UV protection without adding heat.

Can I ride a motorcycle in them?

They are fine for sun protection on a bike or boda, but they are not protective riding gloves. They offer no abrasion protection in a fall - if that matters, wear proper riding gloves.

Will they keep the feel of a camera or fishing rod?

Yes. At about 20 g the pair they are thin enough that grip and feel are largely unaffected, which is exactly why people choose them over thicker gloves.

How do I wash them?

Cool hand wash, dry in shade. Hot water and tumble drying break down the spandex and you lose the stretch.

Does the UV protection wash out?

No - it comes from the fibre and the knit rather than a coating, so it stays through normal washing.

Where do these figures come from?

The measurements and weights on this page come from the supplier's own documentation rather than an independently tested manufacturer specification, and the table marks them as such. If a particular figure matters to you, ask us and we will check the item in the Dar es Salaam showroom before you buy.
