Prolimit Surf Gloves Unisex Summer LF are lightweight, long-finger gloves for summer sessions when you do want grip and protection, but not a warm winter glove. The thin, flexible stretch upper hand breathes well and dries quickly after a dip or splash, while the durable grip layer in the palm provides reliable grip on boom, wing-handles, paddle or kitesurfing bar. The long fingers shield your tops from abrasions, UV and minor cuts on lines and rails; strategic reinforcements on thumb and index finger catch most of the friction during long raks or lots of overpacking. The fit is slightly contoured so your hand rests in a natural grip position-that saves pinch force and keeps your forearms more relaxed. A low, adjustable wrist closure closes just below your wetsuit or lycra collar and prevents water from blowing in or the glove from twisting during hard tacks and jibs. So you keep feeling in your fingers, with the assurance of extra grip.
On Dutch lakes, ponds and along the coast you will notice the difference especially on days with choppy water, salty spray and a lot of manual work. When wind- and kitesurfing, your grip remains "tacky" without getting sticky, so you can accurately steer and pump; on the sup or in a sailboat, you avoid hot spots and blisters when paddling or hooking up. The fabric allows heat to escape, but is dense enough to protect your skin if you scrape past deck hardware or the boom is wet and slippery. After your session, rinse off sand and salt in a minute; the material dries easily on a hanger and retains its shape even after frequent wear. The gloves are unisex and have enough adjustment range to be tight without pinching, or slightly looser when you want to wear them over a thin liner. Practical, low-maintenance and just thick enough to help, not get in the way-ideal for those who put in lots of hours during the summer season.
