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.

I rang to request some advice on replacement parts for my dinghy and was very impressed with the excellent advice and efficient delivery of the required parts. Many thanks
Great product, safely packaged, delivered on time, at a competitive price. One more thing - the person on the end of the phone is an actual person, informative, helpful, knowledgeable and pleasant. What more could you ask for.
The sales team were quick responding to our questions, dispatched to us promptly, and the product is a perfect replacement for our old tiller which ended up at the bottom of a lake!
It was time for me to upgrade to a newer Ilca and it was recommended that I get a Devoti. The price was competitive and the service from Andrew and his team was fantastic. I received lots of communication and the boat was delivered to me within 2 weeks. It is really great that Sailing Chandlery take the time to set up the rigging so that you can get straight on the water. I am very pleased with my new boat and am loving sailing it. Thank you Sailing Chandlery!
Ordered a dyneema RSAero halyard on the Thursday. It arrived by mid day on the Friday and was used on the Saturday. Excellent product and service. Thank you
Cover arrived after three days and is well made and completely covers the boat boom up . The straps and clips all work fine. Good product.
My local chandlery were unable to supply a white inspection hatch and so it was amatter of looking online. Sailing Chandlery had the cover I needed in stock at a good price and delivery. I had never used them before but the service I received was excellent with the delivery on time and the hatch is now fitted.
I will definitely return, especially with the discounts on offer. Thank you Sailing Chandlery!
Always happy with my orders from Sailing Chandlery. They are quick to post and very helpful when I have had a question.
Jason delivered the boat on time at Hayling Island Sailing Club. The boat was new and all the spars were in perfect condition. Jason came to pick up the boat and return the deposit which I gave at the time of the delivery. Every interaction with Andrew and Jason were handled very professionally. I will recommend to any sailor Sailing Chandlery in the future. I really appreciated how easy it was to charter this boat. Thank you very much. Jacques Kerrest
Prompt delivery, with helpful updates and time slot spot on. Perfect new sail at a great price and the number fixing service is well worth it. It even won its first race! Thank you.
I needed GBR letters for the ILCA Europeans and they arrived by the next post.

I’ll certainly be back
