They look like they would also work for paddlers, especially canoeists.
Since an injury kept me off the boat for a few months, I needed gloves and bought a pair of these. The main problem is the seams at the thumb—they rub and bunch here the way short-finger bike gloves do. A bit fiddly to put on and off also. Long-finger bike gloves have worked better for me, and also keep sun off.
