Prolimit Surf Gloves Unisex Sealed are made for sessions when windchill, spray and low water temperatures make your normal gloves cool down too quickly. The neoprene fits tightly without pinching and molds to your hand after a few minutes, retaining heat better and making you less likely to lose feeling in your fingers. The seam construction is completely sealed: glued, blind-stitched and sealed on the outside, greatly reducing water flowing in and out and keeping your hands calmer in gusty winds. The palm has a grip-resistant coating that remains reliable even when wet, giving you control over boom, wing-handles or kitesurfing bar with less squeeze. A low, elastic cuff slips neatly under the wetsuit sleeve and prevents cold leakage currents along your wrist, while the fit is slightly contoured to make pumping and long raks less tiring.
On Dutch lakes, ponds and along the coast, you especially notice how predictable and quiet these gloves feel in varying conditions. On power-ups, the palm holds enough "tack" to steer precisely, but remains supple enough for quick overpacks and water starts. The inside feels soft and dries relatively quickly, so you won't start with clammy gloves between days of sailing. After the session, you rinse off salt and sand in a minute; the material retains its shape and the outer seal maintains its flexibility even after repeated use in cold water. This allows you to keep cruising longer when the temperature drops, without your forearms filling up or your grip becoming restless. Those looking for a winter-worthy glove that balances insulation, waterproofing and control get a down-to-earth solution with the Sealed that simply works when it gets inclement.
