Finding the right winter sailing gloves for sailing in the colder months used to be very difficult, with limited options most of the neoprene gloves were windsurfing gloves with little to no grip on them and became very uncomfortable after wearing them for long periods of time.
Below are 3 different winter sailing gloves that take 3 different approaches to keeping your hands warm during the winter months and colder days on the water.
The Gill 3 Season Gloves are constructed from 2mm neoprene flexible enough to have great dexterity but enough protection to keep your hands warm and protected from the cold water. These pre shaped gloves reduce strain on your arms. The seams are integrated in lower traffic areas of the gloves to keep them from irritating your hands. Extended cuffs give you the ability to tuck them under other layers. The 3 seasons gloves are currently the only gloves in this class to have the same grip as your standard sailing gloves and the warmth of the neoprene winter sailing glove.
The Zhik Superwarm gloves are the warmest winter sailing gloves around. The Superwarm gloves are constructed from the same super stretch thermal neoprene as the Superwarm wetsuits. The hydrophobic water repellent outer and glued and blind stitched seams keep the water out. These gloves are not made for intense rope work, they are better suited to use on a day boat when on the tiller.
They can be used for rope work if they are combined with a pair of Tactical gloves that go over the top of the Superwarm gloves to protect them from wear. The grippy palms of the Superwarm gloves grip on to the inside of the Tactical gloves and the extra layers hold in the heat.
The Showa 451 are constructed from knitted cotton and polyester with a thermal lining. The seamless design and flexible constitution makes them incredibly skin friendly. The latex grip is shaped to the shape of your hand this in combination with the elasticated wrist give a snug dynamic fit.
The Showa 451 gloves were not originally designed for sailing they were made for building sites in the colder winter months. This made them great for sailing as they were designed for great grip in the wet and the dry whilst keeping your hands warm. These gloves are a great competitive price being almost 10% of the price of other winter sailing 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
