The difference between Short Finger (SF) and Long Finger (LF) is in the fingertips: SF has open fingertips for rope feel, ideal for summer. LF has all fingertips covered for extra warmth. Mittens are the warmest option because all fingers share warmth. The Q-Clove 6mm is for extreme winter conditions below 5 degrees.

Frequently asked questions about Prolimit surf gloves
Which thickness glove for which water temperature?
For summer (water 18+°C) thin 1.5-2 mm Summer (SF or LF) suffices. For shoulder seasons (12-18°C) take 3 mm Curved Finger Utility or Sealed. For autumn and winter (6-12°C) go to 3-4 mm Mittens. For extreme cold below 6°C the Q-Clove 6mm is the choice. Wind feels 5-10 degrees colder.
Mittens or finger gloves for winter surf?
Mittens are significantly warmer than finger gloves because all four fingers share warmth. The Open Palm Xtreme is an in-between version: palm uncovered for grip feedback. For pure warmth: Mittens Close Palm. For dexterity: Curved Finger Utility 3 mm.
How should Prolimit gloves fit?
Prolimit gloves come in standard S/M/L/XL. Fit in dry condition. Good fit closes tight without pinching. Gloves that are too large fill with water; too small restrict circulation. When in doubt size smaller because neoprene stretches.
