Neoprene Gloves & Wetsuit Gloves

Wetsuit Gloves Provide Extra Warmth

On chillier days, simply wearing your wetsuit while on the water may not be sufficient. Donning wetsuit gloves will keep your hands warm in cold waters, making them an essential part of your gear for any watersport you enjoy. These neoprene gloves are constructed from the same material as wetsuits and frequently include extra-grippy material on the palm to enhance performance.

When it comes to wetsuit gloves, you can opt for either surfing gloves or surfing mittens, depending on your personal preference. Regardless of the style selected, it is crucial that the gloves fit snugly. Should they be too large, your hand could "float" inside them, causing them to fill with water rapidly. Another suggestion is to wear your gloves underneath the sleeves of your wetsuit to provide additional insulation.

Which Thickness of Wetsuit Gloves Should I Choose?

One of the significant decisions to make is selecting the thickness of your gloves. Generally, they are available in thicknesses ranging from 3 to 5mm, though some models can be as thick as 7mm. A substantial 5mm wetsuit glove offers excellent cold protection, albeit with less dexterity. Conversely, opting for a thinner model of 3mm or less provides greater flexibility, though with reduced insulation.

Besides gloves, you might also want to consider investing in some Wetsuit Boots and Hoods for colder surfing adventures.
