There are hundreds of pairs of sailing gloves available on the market today and we appreciate that picking the right pair for your type of sailing can be a tough choice. Gloves are so important to your sailing, get the wrong pair and you'll ruin your day, get the right pair and you'll be out there for hours in the harshest of winter conditions having the time of your life.
In this article we give you some insight into the sailing gloves we have available here at Sailing Chandlery and explain the key features that might be right for you and your type of sailing.
The Superwarm gloves are Zhik's premium winter sailing gloves. Made from 3mm super stretch neoprene with a soft fleece inner liner to keep your hands warm and toasty. The water repellent outer and the glued and blind stitched seams allow your hands to stay warmer for longer as the water is kept out of the gloves.
These gloves are great for use for all kinds of water sports.
If you plan on using these gloves for sailing Zhik recommend that you put Zhik grip gloves over the top so you have the best warmth, grip and protection.
Key features of the superwarm gloves include:
The Zhik G2 glove is the most technical sailing glove they have made so far. The clever seams allow you to be comfortable whilst wearing these for long periods. The Kevlar stitching is durable and lasts the test of time. Extra padding allows these gloves to be used all year round and still keep your hands warm.
These gloves are packed full of features:
Originally designed for construction these Showa 451 gloves are great for the colder months. The thermal lining and latex grip are extremely resistant to abrasion and will outlast any expensive sailing glove. The seamless design allows comfort and lowers the risk of any stitching coming loose.
Key features we love:
As the name suggests the 3 season gloves can be worn all year round.
These gloves are constructed from lightweight neoprene and dura-grip on the palms, this provides you with exceptional grip whilst protecting your hands from the elements.
These gloves feature no seams on the fingertips and the pre-shaped construction to fit your hand. Wrap around palm protection offers flexibility and durability whilst remaining dexterity.
These Gill sailing gloves are great all-rounders with long cuffs you can tuck under your outer layers whilst doing any water sport.
Key features that make the 3 season gloves great:
The Zhik tactical gloves are gloves for all types of sailing. They can be worn over other gloves to give extra grip or worn alone for high sensitivity and flexibility. The seamless nylon liner and dipped outer make these gloves great value for money as the gloves come in a pack of 3 pairs.
Key Glove Features:
The Zhik G1 has been designed for all sailors. Compared to the G2 gloves they are at a much more competitive price point but are more lightweight without taking too much away from the gloves.
Although they come in at a lower price they do this without taking away the great features:
The Showa gloves may not have been designed with sailing in mind but the advanced grip latex works in the wet and dry whilst being flexible and seamless.
Key Features of the 341 Gloves we love:
Gills Pro gloves are the best in Gill's glove range. The Proton-Ultra XD Palm allows the gloves to be durable whilst being soft and flexible. The gloves also feature Gill's tried and tested Dura-Grip fabric that doesn't compromise the durability of the gloves.

Slides easily through the blocks whilst providing firm grip
Item has brilliant bounce back ability, thanks
Simple to fit and makes launching and recovery simple. Well worth the investment
Quality material and design enables my lug sail to be stowed securely on it's spars
Great wide and grippy tyres for a shingle/sharp launching area and compound for an RS400.
Receive fantastic service couldn’t help any more if they tried. Arranged for me to collect my order at a time that suited even when it was outside of working hours. Much appreciated, thank you sailing Chandlery.
Excellent gloves, perhaps the best I have used. The fingers are long enough to provide protection from sheets/halyards and fit nicely so that ropes cannot get between the glove and finger. If the winter gloves are any guide they should also be very durable.
really happy with these! the thick material means that I will be warm whilst sailing, and the 3 finger coverage allows mobility and warmth on the water. the added grip will really help on the heavy wind reaches, can't wait to test them out this weekend. shipping was really quick, with a sweet included in my order thank you.
As always, great stock, quick delivery, perfect, thank you
The footprint of these is much more than standard trolley wheels so they roll on sand much easier.
These Falker Burgees are essential for our training fleet, giving an instant indication of apparent wind direction.
Made of stainless steel they do not corrode, and are easy to fit into the mast bracket.
It is a shame the sail part is not available as a spare as this part does not last forever, unlike the ss frame.
Nice product.
Arrived quickly and fits very well
Fast, efficient service and the lightweight trolley is perfect for my needs.
We needed to change the size and it looks like they will change the Hikers for a size up. Thank you very much
