Prolimit Surf Gloves Unisex Q-Clove X-Strech 6MM are made for really cold water, when windchill and wet booms or bars knock out your fingers in minutes. The 6mm neoprene blend delivers serious insulation, but remains flexible enough to steer, pump and tackle over without unnecessary pinching, thanks to the X-Stretch construction. The fit is slightly contoured to keep your hands in a natural position; that saves forearm fatigue during long rafts. Glued and blind-stitched seams are extra sealed on the outside to limit water flowing in and out, while the inside feels soft and warms up quickly once you start moving. A grippy palm gives sure contact with boom, wing-handles or kitesurfing bar, even when everything is wet or spray is flying over it. The low, elastic cuff slides neatly under your wetsuit sleeve for a draft-free fit without thick edges getting in the way during water starts or heel-toe changes.
On Dutch lakes, ponds and at the coast, you'll especially notice how controlled these gloves stay on when the wind turns or picks up. The combination of thickness, stretch and fit retains warmth without completely losing feel, keeping your timing and line selection clean. The palm's surface remains "tacky" in cold, but doesn't stick annoyingly during micro-adjustments; when cutting toward the lip, you can build pressure without slippage or extra pinching. After the session, you rinse off salt and sand in a minute, then they dry quickly on a hanger and retain their shape day after day. The materials and stitching are chosen for durability in salt and sun, so you can cruise through winter and early spring with fewer changes and more reliable sessions. For those who just want to keep going when it's gray and inclement, these 6mm Q-Clove X-Strech offer just the mix of warmth, grip and flexibility that makes cold-weather sessions not only possible but fun.v
