Are waterski gloves used for Hang Gliding?

Hang gliding gloves require the best grip possible, so Kevlar palm is recommended, and fingertips with silicone dots to improve the grip when the glove gets wet for any reason. Nothing is more dangerous than slippery gloves on a hang glider.

We got an order for several pairs of the Connelly Claw 2.0 waterski gloves with the Kevlar palm, the best waterski glove on the market. Order came from Bucaramanga Colombia. It seemed like an unusual order because nobody has a water ski boat in that city. After contacting the client, we learned that he is part of a popular hang gliding club. It turns out that Bucaramanga is one of the top hang gliding and para sailing sites in Latin America with canyon cliffs carved by a main river, waterfalls, lush green hills, and some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.

By coincidence, we had a friend passing through that city on vacation, so we had him take the gloves with him and had him call the client for pickup at the hotel. The hang gliding enthusiast was very happy for this in person delivery and gave an invitation to go up on one of his tandem gliders similar to the way they do for tourists in Rio. It was a tempting offer but said no. Cant imagine doing this type of ride the first time as a beginner.

From that day forward, we have promoted the Connelly Kevlar grip gloves and other Kevlar grip gloves for hang gliding and other extreme sports that require the best grip gloves on the market.
