Sailing gloves: go out covered!

As sailing practices intensify, sailing gloves have become an essential part of a sailor's equipment. The evolution of the market pushes the constant search for performance, which is why a good pair of sailing gloves is now indispensable. Regardless of the season, sailing gloves are one of the elements not to be neglected when practicing water sports. Sailing gloves effectively protect your hands from external aggressions during maneuvers on deck. In addition to protecting your hands from wind, salt and UV rays, sailing gloves will prevent injury when sheeting, using the winch or during a spinnaker gybe. Because the texture of the tips is rough to the touch, friction can damage the skin on your hands and cause burns when you are tucking in the sails. With a good pair of sailing gloves, your hands are covered and safe. The brands on our site offer different models of sailing gloves, such as gill gloves, helly hansen gloves, guy cotten gloves, dexshell waterproof glovesor musto sailing gloves... each manufacturer has adapted sizes, colors and models.

Long fingers, short fingers : how to choose

The short fingers glovesor sailing mitt, is the most common on the market. It is perfectly adapted for summer use. Even if they protect less against the sun and the sea salt, short finger gloves allow to keep an excellent dexterity and precision during maneuvers and sea knots. Short finger gloves ensure good sensations and are very useful for kayaking, cruising or stand up paddling.

The long finger gloves are best used in cold weather, in regattas or cruising. Only the thumb and index finger are open, which allows you to keep a certain dexterity while protecting you from bad weather. This can also be handy for the electronics on board.

Sailing gloves, with all fingers covered, usually made of neoprene or nylon, will be indispensable when it's your turn to steer alone in the middle of the night in cold weather. Some models of neoprene gloves can be thin enough, 1 to 2 mm, to maintain a certain level of feel and dexterity. Although you lose accuracy, a pair of winter sailing gloves is essential in certain weather conditions.
