Some frequently asked questions that other customers have asked us about Waterproof Sailing Gloves.
Do I need sailing gloves to go sailing?
While not necessary if you are going to be frequently pulling and adjusting ropes it is recommended to protect your hands, and also to keep them warm.
Can I use normal gloves instead of sailing gloves?
You could but they are unlikely to provide the protection you're going to need. Sailing gloves are made from hard wearing materials and have protection built into key areas to protect your hands.
Which sailing gloves are better for grip and control?
If you are looking for feeling and control then a lightweight pair of sailing gloves such as the Showa and Zhik tactical gloves are going to be best.
Do I need different sailing gloves for summer and winter?
Yes, you are likely to need different pairs for summer and winter sailing. In summer your hands will be warmer and in winter you'll want to protect your hands from the cold and elements.
Fingerless or full-finger gloves – which should I choose?
When purchasing you need to think about what you'll be doing. If your hands are tucked away pulling the ropes occasionally then full-finger might be best. If you're looking to start untieing knots and tightening shackles short-finger fingerless gloves will likely be better for you.
