Review on Protoco Oar Grips Caviness Paddles by Ryan Fitch

Revainrating 4 out of 5

comfortable grips: paddling accessory

These grips are perfect for painted oars. However, the instructions for dressing are rather optimistic. Soaking them in hot water is nowhere near enough to make them loose enough to fit paddles. I smeared the inside of the handles and oar handles with soap and then they came off fairly easily. It took some effort to get the air out, but once the oars were dry the handles seemed to be well bonded.

Pros
  • Soft and durable grip with a cushion that makes the rowing grip more comfortable when paddling.
Cons
  • All fine
