Neoprene Gloves & Wetsuit Gloves

Extra Warmth with Wetsuit Gloves

When the days turn colder, simply wearing a wetsuit might not suffice on the water. To keep your hands toasty in chilly conditions, donning wetsuit gloves becomes necessary for any watersport you enjoy. These neoprene gloves are crafted from the same material as wetsuits and often feature an extra-grippy surface on the palm to enhance performance.

You have the option to choose between surfing gloves or surfing mittens, depending on your personal taste. Regardless of the style you pick, ensuring a snug fit is critical. If the gloves are too large, your hand may "float" inside, causing them to fill with water. Another suggestion is to tuck your gloves under your wetsuit sleeves for added insulation.

Determining the Right Thickness for Wetsuit Gloves

Deciding on the thickness of the gloves is a key consideration. Typically, gloves range from 3 to 5mm in thickness, although some can be as thick as 7mm. A robust 5mm wetsuit glove offers excellent cold protection but at the cost of reduced dexterity. Opting for a slimmer design, 3mm or thinner, provides greater flexibility, though less insulation.

In addition to gloves, you might want to think about acquiring some Wetsuit Boots and Hoods for those extra-chilly surfing outings.
