Let me know what you think. I want to purchase these to protect my hands from sun damage, and dont want toxic sunblock on my hands that will eventually sweat off.

Don't take this as an offense. Are you actually wearing those when you are out? I know some places in the world the ozone layer has gone to nil. Is that where you live now?
They look awful, but most importantly, the finger straps look like they would cause blisters. I wouldn't chance it.
You'd look an utter sket as well. :roll:
Why not get non-toxic sunblock, Mr. Fear Monger?
if utter sket means, super healthy, then thanks
umm lets just say skets don't really lead a healthy lifestyle.![]()
No problem buddy. I'm very aware of sun damage no matter where you live, because tennis players are especially exposed for long periods of time. I have not worn them yet, but I will buy them and try them. At the least I can use them while walking the dog. I already wear a full long sun protection outfit, and the hands are the only area exposed.
I love being as healthy as can be
Then why not, you will get used to it. But it may hinder your swing because of the resistance of the air. Like running with an open umbrella. How about just wear some special gloves?
Just go out and play tennis at night.
No offense but if you have the need to take all this measurment to avoid the same sun that is in contact with the rest of the human kind, then you may not be as healthy as you think.
haha

well, i love being much healthier then 99% of the human population
You are not really being healthy if you aren't getting vitamin D from the sun. There are a number of studies now correlating low vitamin D levels with a number of different cancers. Healthy levels of vitamin D are difficult to obtain through diet alone.
Just this month, in an internal medicine journal, a study has found that for men in their 40s, low vitamin D levels are a better marker of heart attack (much better) than cholesterol. Hiding from the sun sounds like paranoia rather than concern about health.
i agree, and i get my 15 min a day, as i lay buck naked on my lawn.
when playing tennis im out there 2hr +, sometimes i have to play 2 matches a day, and 1 doubles. so a long day at a tournament may be 5hrs of singles, and 2hrs of doubles, THATS 7 HOURS.
so I know im being smart for long tern protection, as the study says 15 min a day of sun, not hours
With those you can moonlight as a a driver in Japan or Korea. But, hey, if you can play with them on go for it. Just curious, are you wearing long sleeves and long pants too?

You haven't seen his other posts, have you? Look on the Post Pic of Apparel thread.
This has to be one of the most rediculous threads I have ever read. This guy seems to be a bit OCD about the sun and his exposure to it. You might as well quite tennis and anything else outside until they come up with a protective bubble that you can live in...
...oh wait you already do live in one.
My prediction is that you will get skin cancer or some other illness before 90% of the people here because you try to over protect your body from things you think are bad for you. What acutally ends up happening is that you weaken your body's natural defenses to these things and are worse off for it.
What doen't kill you makes you stronger.![]()
so do you wear long pants, long shirts, and a veil over your head when you play?
Would wearing a pr of tube socks work just as well? Do this in the fall and winter by using my holy socks and sliding the racquet into the sock. I also decorate old socks, http://www.wikihow.com/Image:Sock-monkey-7773.jpg
