Used these oars on a multi-day river trip and found them extremely responsive. The carbon fiber shaft is light yet strong, and the Gilman grip reduced hand fatigue significantly. Perfect for long stretches of rowing.

The red rope wrap grip feels solid and secure. After a week of daily use, the oars still feel like new. The shoal cut blade helps with precise sweeps in current-heavy sections.
