No more burning fingers
of Sam, Blue Tomato Den Haag, Blue Tomato, Jan 7, 2022
In my old gloves, my fingers would always get cold and would hurt. With these, all my worries are gone. I tried a size M up to XL and found that the L fits best and leaves no space around my fingers or hand palms. I also tried the thicker (5/3mm) gloves but found that I lose quite the feeling even with paddling or during take-off.
The water temperature is 6 degrees Celsius in the Netherlands. It seems cold but the soft lining on the inside of the gloves will make sure to keep you warm. The seems on the inside are taped and the outside seams are glued so there is no water coming through. the cuffs of the gloves are thinner which is nice when you put your wetsuit over the cuffs. Because they are thinner the extra material of the wetsuit won't pinch off your wrists and makes sure blood flow is not shut off.
The extra grip on the hand palms ensures your hands won't slip during take-off!
The lining drys fast so you can enjoy a second session starting with warm gloves.
These gloves make my winter surf sessions way more fun as I'm not cold anymore and I can last longer in the water! Do try multiple sizes, what I always feel with gloves that are too big is that they will move around your hand (just like boots) and then will fill with water
