Our warmest glove yet. We have combined the insulating qualities of our All Weather Neoprene glove with the wind protection properties from our AquaPro glove to create the ideal winter glove. Durability is enhanced through clever material selection to enable the glove to last longer. The glove has full fingered neoprene protection that extends further up the wrist to increase blood flow and circulation combined with a tuck away Aquafleece mitten. The mitten is an additional feature that can aid in removing windchill in between races or on the coach boat, when your fingers are not being used - this can then tuck away neatly into a handy pocket on the top of the glove when not in use.
The pocket for the mitten to tuck into can also double up as a storage pocket for heat pouches!
We recommend hand washing in warm soapy water and allowing to air dry.

It’s ok, I am not convinced these are warmer than my 5mm neoprene gloves but they are thinner and probably have a better feel on the paddle. They are properly formed individual fingers which are a comfier fit than the generic pre shaped neoprene ones. The fleece lined cover for the fingers should make a difference.
I do however have an issue when paddleboarding as there is a slight excess of material on the padding on the thumb which regularly gets caught in the split clip of my paddle as I change hands so I have to stop and unhook my glove from the paddle. I may have to glue it down or trim it. The split clip has a v shaped gap which is perfect for catching the thumb pad of the glove.
Grip and probably wear resistance is good, but they do not keep you warm in cold and wet conditions. Both good grip and warm gloves is a big challenge, so I where not expecting them to be warm:-)
Really great gloves, useful when driving a rib or rope pulling when sailing ⛵️. The 4 Finger Pocket is also useful in the same context.
Downside, not waterproof but' still handy when on either craft.
Brought my pair at the RYA BOAT & DINGY Show in Farnborough.
Only apparent drawback is that pressing buttons on wrist starting watch with glove on is a bit tricky - but that's to be expected
