Gloves: Kevlar palm/Amara fingers vs Amara palm/Kevlar fingers?

[Gab]

Hi all,

I am looking to get one or two pairs of gloves with neoprene for when it is colder (1.5mm and 2.5/3mm); I currently use gardening gloves with leather palm and fingers which is great for the summer but not great when the water gets cold.

I am looking for dexterity at the fingers (especially the trigger finger) and for an extra resistant palm. I reef/rock spearfish and I often find myself using my hands to push off rocks underwater, the palms for pressure when climbing onto rocks and the fingers to grip when climbing.

I have seen both Kevlar palm/Amara fingers and Amara palm/Kevlar fingers advertised for spearfishing, anyone tried both? Which is better in what situation?

From what I understand Kevlar is more resistant but grips less and the opposite for Amara, the later being more flexible, is that correct?

If so that makes me think I need Kevlar palms and Amara fingers, but I read that it is better to have Kevlar fingers as it resits better to the friction of the line when a reel is used.

What is your opinion on the subject?

Thanks!
Gab

I use kayaking neoprene gloves which are formed in a curl - very warm and give good dexterity

Thanks Ronnie, I have pole fishing gloves like that; however I am trying to chose the palm and finger protection/material more than than anything else.
