Prolimit Surf Gloves Unisex Mittens Close Palm Black

Prolimit Surf Gloves Unisex Mittens Close Palm are made for cold days when you do want to sail but your hands are often the first to give up. The mitt construction keeps fingers together for more warmth, while the "close palm" interior provides direct grip on boom, wing-handle or bar. The flexible neoprene blend molds to your hand and keeps windchill out, with a soft interior that warms up quickly once you start moving. Seams are neatly glued and blind-stitched to reduce seepage; the shape is slightly contoured so squeezing takes less force and your forearms stay calmer during long raks. A low, elastic cuff slides easily under your wetsuit sleeve and closes tightly without thick edges getting in the way during water starts or stance changes. So you maintain control over equipment and timing, while your hands stay warm in inclement winds or wet crashes.

On Dutch lakes, ponds and at the coast, you'll especially notice how predictably these mittens perform when the temperature drops and the wind is gusty. The dense palm helps retain warmth on contact with wet boom or bar, but remains "tacky" enough for precise steering and pumping; even with spray or drops, your grip remains secure. On and off, the wide opening gives just enough stretch without lubbing, and once in place the mitts remain stable without twisting around your hand. After the session, rinse off sand and salt in a minute; the material dries smoothly on a hanger and retains its shape even after repeated use in winter conditions. For those who cruise more frequently when it's gray and inclement, these Close Palm mittens offer a down-to-earth balance of warmth, control and practicality - just what you need to push through when others drop out.
