Backhander
by UVeto Australia

Minimal coverage. Maximum freedom. The UVeto Backhander is designed to protect the back of the hands from harmful UV exposure while leaving the palms completely free for grip, airflow and unrestricted movement. Lightweight and low-profile, it offers practical sun protection without the feel of a traditional glove.

Unlike fingerless gloves that still cover the palm and fingers, the Backhander focuses only on the areas most exposed to direct sunlight. The open-palm design maintains full tactile feel and grip performance, making it ideal for activities where dexterity, ventilation and comfort matter more than full-hand coverage.

Made from soft micro mesh fabric, it remains cool and breathable during prolonged outdoor use while delivering UPF50+ rated protection. The reversible design offers Navy on one side and Bone on the other, giving users flexibility depending on environment, glare conditions or preference. This is the option for people who want sun protection on their hands… without feeling like they’re wearing gloves at all.
