I've been out all day these last few days of over 40 deg heat and I've been getting a bit sweaty on the paddle...and slipping a bit with the lower hand.
I've been thinking about a paddle grip for a while now and because that stick on C4 type grip is not available here so I thought I would try this.
I picked it up at the bicycle shop and it's for protecting the chain-stays of a mountain bike frame from chain slap that causes frame and paint damage.
It was a perfect fit on my Kialoa paddle..It's tappered..and it's nice and thin..It's also light weight and very grippy.
It's a tight fit but if you put it on up near the handle and then slide it down the the right position I've found that it does not move...and feels pretty good.
It uses velcro but the velcro strip is along the back of the paddle and not really noticeable.. I paddled all day today with it and I like it.
