Excellent general purpose gloves suitable for sailing that most people don't even know exist.
Showa Gloves were originally designed to be used in the building industry but as the company grew they begin making gloves for many different industries.
We stock gloves that are are designed for grip, warmth and even some that are waterproof.
The range from Showa are among the most popular gloves we stock. They have great flexibility and durability whilst having options such as thermal lining for extra warmth on a colder day on the water.
If you look closely at photos of professional sailors in the British Sailing Team you'll notice that many of them in high performance classes such as the 49er and Nacra 17 wear Showa gloves. This is because of 3 key reasons:
Price - These glove are a very competitive price compared to may other sailing gloves that won't last as long. The 451 Gloves are £5.99 a pair (at the time of this article) where as other gloves from Gill and Zhik are between £40 and £50.
Durability - Don't think that they have cut corners with durability due to the lower price. These gloves will outlast almost all other sailing gloves. Whether you are sailing a Topper or trimming the kite on an 18 foot skiff these will hold up well to anything. Andrew our founder swears by these gloves and uses them when he is crewing on his Tornado catamaran.
Grip - Whilst being durable they are extremely abrasion resistant. The seamless latex coating is bonded to the glove so no need to worry about them wearing away and sticking to each other.

Great
It’s a nice halyard thing and strong, and looped through itself it has a slim profile. Also I need extra length and sailing chandlery where happy to add it on for me! Greatt!
A perfect match, installed and working well.
I do wish there was a less expensive shipping alternative for your international customers.
great products , great service
Great product! As always, the team at Sailing Chandlery delivered a great customer experience.
Cheers,

Lovely dry bag, good size, tough sturdy bag. Feels well made.
I've ordered a number of these in recent weeks. Initially, they were standard sizes from stock but, more recently, I've needed some bespoke sizes. Jason at Sailing Chandlery has been brilliant, fabricating these latter orders and despatching them within 24 hours.
Superb service. Keep up the good work.
Does what it should do
Nice to wear keeping me nice and warm
Easy to find and order what I needed. Quick delivery. Good price.
Very comfortable but do measure your foot as suggested and they fit perfectly......don't go by your shoe size!
Sailing Chandlery provide a quick service, at a good price, supplying a wide range of products, allowing me to replace my dinghy halyard which had recently snapped. I will return to Sailing Chandlery for future boat repairs.
very impressed with the polycotton cover I ordered for my Laser Vago. It is well-made and in the UK too which takes a big box for me and was delivered well within the timescales that I anticipated so all round five big stars from me
One minor gripe Is that I wish there were two loops to lift the cover at the back to prevent water pooling rather than just the one.
But that’s me being really picky
I bought this to repair a campervan canvas pop top and it worked a treat because it is strong and weather proof. I've used on other outdoor fabrics since so came back for a second roll. I came back to Sailing Chandlery as they were quick and efficient and had just what I wanted.
