Our verdict
The Pristis Pristis UPF50+ Gloves II run $14.99 and carry a 4.5 star rating, a score that matches the higher end of this comparison set. With 112 reviews behind that rating, it has the smallest review base of the four gloves compared here, so the price to rating balance looks better than its sales history proves.
Check price on AmazonBest for
Anglers who want a mid low priced UPF50+ glove and are comfortable buying on a 4.5 star rating with a smaller review count, prioritizing the score itself over a long, proven purchase history on the listing.
Skip if
Skip this if a large review history matters to your buying decision, since 112 reviews is far behind the Berkley's 2,607, the BASSDASH's 1,000, and the Lindy's 898. Buyers wanting cold insulation should look at the Glacier 015BK instead.

112 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other fishing gear and tackle we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
A glove with a 4.5 star rating is worth a second look, and the Pristis Pristis UPF50+ Gloves II back that rating up at a price of $14.99, undercutting both the Glacier 015BK's $23.21 and the Lindy AC950's $28.35 while sitting above the Berkley BTLCFG's $7.99 and the SUJAYU pair's $8.99.
The 4.5 rating ties this glove with the sun gloves reviewed elsewhere in this category and sits just behind the Berkley and Lindy's 4.6, while beating the Glacier's 4.2 and the SUJAYU's 4.4. Where this listing falls short is volume: 112 reviews is the smallest count among any glove referenced in this comparison, well under the Glacier's 114 and a fraction of the Lindy's 898.
No bought-last-month figure above the base tier is listed for this glove, which leaves recent demand unverified from the facts given. The UPF50+ naming suggests a sun protection focus similar to other gloves in this category, positioning it as a budget conscious alternative to the pricier neoprene and puncture resistant options in this set. For a buyer weighing rating against sales history, the Pristis pair reads as a strong score on a shorter track record, worth comparing directly against the higher volume listings before deciding.
Pros
- 4.5 star rating, ahead of the Glacier 015BK's 4.2 and the SUJAYU's 4.4
- Priced at $14.99, cheaper than both the Glacier 015BK and the Lindy AC950
- UPF50+ naming indicates a sun protection focus for long days on the water
- Mid range price point sits between the cheapest and most expensive gloves in this comparison
- In stock and available at the time of these facts
Cons
- 112 reviews is the smallest review count of any glove referenced in this comparison
- No bought-last-month figure above the base tier, so recent demand cannot be confirmed
- No material or weight specs listed in the facts provided
- Costs more than the Berkley BTLCFG's $7.99 and the SUJAYU's $8.99, both of which have far larger review counts
Performance notes
The UPF50+ designation in the product name points to sun protection as the primary function of this glove, similar in purpose to the other UPF rated gloves in this category, which typically use lightweight fabric to block ultraviolet exposure on the hands during long hours outdoors. Without listed weight or material specs, the physical feel and durability cannot be assessed beyond the naming convention itself. A $14.99 price point places it in a middle tier, above the sub-ten-dollar budget gloves like Berkley and SUJAYU but well under the neoprene and puncture resistant options from Glacier and Lindy, which serve different use cases entirely. Buyers should treat the II in the product name as an indicator of a second generation design, though no specific changes from a prior version are detailed in the available facts.
What buyers say
A 4.5 star rating is a strong number on its own, landing just behind the top scores of 4.6 held by the Berkley and Lindy gloves in this comparison. The catch is volume: 112 reviews is a small sample relative to the thousands logged on some competing listings, which means the rating, while positive, has less statistical weight behind it. No bought-last-month figure above the base tier is available, so current sales momentum is not verifiable from the facts given. The pattern that does emerge is a positively rated glove with a shorter track record, the kind of listing worth watching as its review count grows rather than dismissing outright.

Frequently asked questions
How reliable is the 4.5 star rating on the Pristis Gloves II?
It is based on 112 reviews, the smallest sample among the gloves compared here. The rating itself is strong and beats the Glacier 015BK's 4.2, but the smaller review count means it carries less weight than ratings built on the thousands of reviews some competitors have.
How does the Pristis Gloves II price compare to similar fishing gloves?
At $14.99, it costs less than the Glacier 015BK's $23.21 and the Lindy AC950's $28.35, but more than the Berkley BTLCFG's $7.99 or the SUJAYU pair's $8.99. It lands in the middle of this comparison's price range, offering a balance between the cheapest and priciest gloves listed here.
What does UPF50+ mean on the Pristis glove?
UPF50+ is a sun protection rating for fabric, indicating the material blocks a high share of ultraviolet rays. It signals this glove is built primarily for sun exposure on the water rather than cold insulation or cut resistance, similar to other UPF rated gloves in this category.
