HOWEVER, the grips did slide a little bit when wet, which is inevitable. And frankly it's impossible to say how much they will on your paddle because paddles vary greatly in material and shape. My paddle has a different material for the grips with a feel similar to graphite which these grips did hold on to well enough that it didn't bother me much. But with an aluminum paddle, or plastic, it may slip more. Can't really say. It IS rubberized on the inside of the grip so it's not neoprene all the way through, but when the rubber gets wet it's a little less grippy.
Overall I was satisfied with the product, it did what I'd hoped and it's not to expensive so if it doesn't stay in place on your paddle like you'd hoped, you can use tape/zip ties to tighten it or just let it go.
I thought I'd try these. After several long paddles these are my results.
GOOD: They are comfortable and provide the hand to paddle grip I wanted.
They are not too big--but I would prefer them to be thinner.
BAD: They do slip and slide up and down the paddle shaft. I've tried various methods of making them stay in one place--nothing works. I even tried wrapping heavy duty rubber bands around each end---even that didn't work. Contact cement might work.
This is a drag. They slip in one of two ways. Slowly--that I don't notice, and suddenly: stick, stick, stick-SLIDE.
When I try to push them back into the correct position, same thing. They won't move and then they jump several inches. I spend a lot of time fussing with them.
---- The concept works but not the execution.----
What I plan to try next is to contact cement neoprene material from an old wetsuit top. The neoprene is less bulky than the Yakgrips, which is OK, and I can make a longer grip.
- I tested the Yakgrips on a Werner Camano Paddle with a narrow shaft 1.25" (instead of the usual 1.5" -- this would make some difference but I don't think a larger diameter would solve the problem). I have good paddle technique and correct grip (which is loose) No feathering.
-- I use the paddle for ocean (salt water) kayaking off the southern California coast in water that is about 68-72 degrees.
-I tried using Windex as a temporary lubricant ( wet it's slippery (it's a base) when dries usually nothing slides) Works great for applications like this, but didn't help in this case.
