Why Wear Gloves?
Ultimate frisbee gloves have many features that can benefit players. Gloves provide traction that can increase throwing distance, improve catching consistency, provide grip in rainy and wet conditions, keep hands warm in the cold, and provide padding on hard throws. It is important to use an ultimate frisbee style glove because they are designed to provide grip without being too sticky to impact throwing. Other types of gloves like football receiver gloves are designed with only catching in mind and end up being very difficult to throw in. The links below are affiliate links and gear that I recommend.
