Keep Your Hands in the Fight, Out of the Sun

The AFTCO Solblok Fingerless Sun Protection Fishing Gloves are built for anglers who spend long hours on the water under direct sun. With UPF 50 rated fabric covering your hands, fingers, and wrists, you get serious UV protection without sacrificing the feel and dexterity you need to rig, cast, and fight fish all day long.

Built for Dexterity Without Sacrificing Protection

The ¾ finger coverage design gives you the best of both worlds — your fingertips stay free for tying knots, baiting hooks, and handling tackle, while the rest of your hand stays shielded from harmful UV rays. The synthetic leather palm adds a confident grip on rods, reels, and leaders, even when your hands are wet.

Sun Damage Adds Up — These Don't Let It

Most anglers don't think about hand sun protection until it's too late. Hours of reflected UV off the water accelerates skin damage on the backs of hands and wrists — areas that are constantly exposed and rarely covered. The Solblok gloves close that gap with lightweight, breathable UPF 50 coverage that you'll forget you're wearing.

Why the Solblok Beats Going Bare-Handed

• UPF 50 rated — blocks 98%+ of harmful UV rays
• ¾ finger coverage keeps fingertips free for precision tasks
• Synthetic leather palm for a secure, non-slip grip
• Lightweight and breathable — won't overheat in warm conditions
• AFTCO quality construction built to hold up to repeated use on the water

The Right Pick If...

• You fish in sunny, open-water conditions regularly
• You want hand protection without losing feel on the rod
• You're prone to sunburn on the backs of your hands and wrists
• You need a glove that works for both rigging and fighting fish
• You want a trusted fishing-specific brand, not a generic sun glove

Tackle Express Tips

• Size up if between sizes: If you're on the border between Medium and Large, go Large — the synthetic leather palm fits snugger when new and will break in with use.
• Pair with a sun shirt: Combine the Solblok gloves with an AFTCO UPF sun shirt for full arm and hand coverage on long offshore or flats days.
• Rinse after saltwater use: A quick freshwater rinse after each trip keeps the fabric and synthetic leather palm performing longer and prevents salt buildup from stiffening the glove.

FAQ

Can I tie knots and bait hooks while wearing these?
Yes — the ¾ finger coverage design leaves your fingertips exposed so you retain full dexterity for tying knots, threading bait, and handling small tackle without removing the gloves.

Do these work for both saltwater and freshwater fishing?
Absolutely. The Solblok gloves are built for any sun-exposed fishing environment — saltwater flats, offshore, surf, or open freshwater lakes and rivers.

How do I care for these gloves?
Hand wash or machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and air dry. Avoid high heat which can degrade the UPF fabric and synthetic leather palm over time.
