Prolimit Surf Gloves Unisex Mittens Cold Water Black

Prolimit Surf Gloves Unisex Mittens Cold Water are made for sessions where cold, wind chill and wet booms or bars are normal, but you want to maintain control and feel. The mitt construction holds your fingers together so heat is retained longer than five-finger gloves, while the fit is slightly contoured so you need less force when squeezing and steering. A supple neoprene blend fits snugly around wrist and hand, limits water flow in and out, and feels noticeably warmer after the first few minutes. The inside is soft and quick-drying, so you won't put on a clammy glove between runs. On the outside, a grippy finish provides grip on boom, wing-handles or kitesurfing bars, even when everything is wet or spray is blowing over them. The low cuff easily slips under your wetsuit sleeve for a neat, draft-free fit without thick edges getting in the way during water starts or changing stances.

On Dutch lakes, ponds and along the coast, you'll especially notice the peace and quiet these mittens bring when the wind gets gusty and the temperature drops. The combination of insulation, fit and grip keeps your forearms relaxed: you need to squeeze less, steer more precisely and keep feeling in your fingers longer. Seams are neatly finished to reduce seepage, and the gloves don't twist around your hand during hard pulls or when your bar is momentarily skewed in chop. After the session, you can rinse off salt and sand in a minute; the material dries easily on a hanger and retains its shape, so you can hit the water the next day with no surprises. For those who continue to cruise in winter and early spring, Cold Water mittens deliver exactly the balance of warmth, control and practicality that makes cold-weather sessions not only possible but enjoyable.
