Flying Fisherman SunBandit Pro Series Gloves Blue Water L/XL

The Flying Fisherman SunBandit Pro Series Gloves in Blue Water are purpose-built fingerless fishing gloves engineered for anglers who refuse to sacrifice sun protection for on-the-water function. Half-finger design keeps your palm and knuckles shielded while leaving fingertips free for tying knots, setting hooks, and handling tackle—the real work of the day. These gloves deliver the UV defense and comfort serious anglers need on extended trips without the bulk of full-coverage gear.

Construction matters on the water. The gloves feature silicone-padded synthetic leather across the palm and finger areas, providing genuine grip security when your hands are wet or when you're wrestling slippery fish or wet line. The 4-way stretch poly-spandex fabric moves with your hands, not against them, and breathes well enough that your hands stay comfortable during long days under the sun. Quick-dry material means moisture doesn't linger, and the extended cuff offers additional forearm coverage where the sun exposure is real.

Convenience is built in: pull tabs on the wrist and fingers let you slip these on fast when the bite is happening and pull them off just as quickly when you need full dexterity for detail work. The snug fit keeps them in place without restricting movement. With 50+ UPF sun protection woven into the fabric itself, you're getting legitimate defense against UV rays during hours on the water—not a marketing claim, but actual coverage where skin exposure matters most.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these gloves good for all-day fishing?

Yes. The 4-way stretch poly-spandex fabric breathes well and dries quickly, so your hands stay comfortable during extended time on the water. The extended cuff and 50+ UPF protection are designed specifically for the hours-long sun exposure anglers face.

Will I be able to tie knots and handle small lures with half-finger design?

That's the whole point of the half-finger cut. Your fingertips remain fully exposed for detail work like knot tying, lure inspection, and handling small tackle—while your palms, knuckles, and forearms stay protected from UV rays.

How do I put them on and take them off?

Pull tabs located on the wrist and individual fingers make these easy to slip on quickly when you need them and pull off just as fast. No fumbling when the action is happening.

Will these stay on my hands while I'm fishing?

The snug fit of the 4-way stretch fabric keeps them in place without restricting movement or circulation. The wrist pull tab helps secure the fit as well.
