Id like to buy some gloves before my 2016 RXT 300 comes in. Im going be down in the US next week and there is always a better selection than here in Canada. Just wondered what you guys were using so I could maybe pickup a pair.
I have found bicycle gloves to work well. Most have padded palms. I wear them almost always anymore. Was out in rough water, borrowed a pair. What a difference,,,

agree 100%, although for northern locale's then more might help.
I'm a bit of a glove addict, I think I own 5 pairs of riding gloves, my fav's are similar to this,,, bike gloves.
Cheapo walmart $9 fingerless gloves with palm padding.
I own 3 sets of regular finger-less, only 1 pair were actually designed for pwc, 1 set of neoprene gloves that I cut the finger tips off. 1 pair of mechanix gloves with full fingers if its really cold. I don't think I paid more than $12 for any of them.
i have some that are similar to the bike gloves but are full fingers. i am now looking for ones that offer wrist support/straps. 2 seasons ago (summer 2014) i was out in boston harbor in some rough water, caught a wave and landed awkwardly. i didnt want to into the water so i held on to the steering wheel/bar, that was a mistake as i tore a cartilage (tfcc) on my left wrist due to the jarring motion. needless to say i had surgery and not much riding in 2015.
These saved my hands, palms and wrists the past summer:

Makes these a great glove. Made for water-skiers and they support wrists/hands.
You'll soon be on the second most beautiful PWC ever made, so your gear will need to match it. Whatever you decide, remember the immortal words of Fernando Lamas: "It's better to look good, than to feel good."
