Neoprene Gloves & Wetsuit Gloves

Extra Warmth with Wetsuit Gloves

During chillier days, simply wearing your wetsuit might not suffice for water activities. Wetsuit gloves are vital in keeping your hands warm in cold waters and are crucial gear for any watersport you enjoy. These neoprene gloves, crafted from the same fabric as wetsuits, often feature enhanced grip material on the palms to boost performance.

When opting for wetsuit gloves, you can select either surfing gloves or mittens depending on your preferences. Regardless of your choice, ensure the gloves fit snugly. Loose gloves can cause your hand to "float" inside and fill up with water. A useful tip is to tuck your gloves under the wetsuit sleeves for additional insulation.

Determining the Right Thickness for Wetsuit Gloves

Deciding on the thickness of your gloves is a key consideration. Typically, gloves range from 3 to 5mm thick, though some models reach 7mm. A thicker, 5mm glove provides excellent cold protection but restricts movement more than thinner options. Choosing gloves with 3mm or less allows for greater flexibility but compromises on insulation.

Besides gloves, you might want to think about acquiring some Wetsuit Boots and Hoods for extended cold-water surfing sessions.
