Sailing Gloves

Sailing gloves may not be the first item on your packing list. However, they are important for a safe and comfortable day on the water.

Protect Your Hands

Handling ropes is a big part of sailing, whether you’re cruising, yacht racing, or dinghy sailing. Gloves protect your hands from rope burns and blisters. They also shield you from the sun and offer warmth and comfort in bad weather.

Choosing the Right Gloves

The best gloves for you depend on the conditions and type of sailing you do:

• Summer Sailing: Lightweight gloves for breathability and grip.
• Winter Sailing: Heavier gloves for warmth, sacrificing some dexterity.
• Driving a RIB: Opt for gloves that protect against wind chill.

Key Features to Look For

• Comfortable Fit: Choose long-finger or short-finger gloves based on your preference.
• Good Grip: Essential for secure handling in all conditions.
• Durability: Make sure they can handle the wear and tear of your sailing activities.

With the right pair of gloves, you'll sail with better comfort and confidence, no matter the conditions.
