⚡ At a Glance
- • Wearing Comfort: Pre-curved shape with M-Flex 2.0 neoprene reduces hand fatigue and improves fit
- • Best for: Kitesurfers, windsurfers and surfers needing tactile control in cold conditions
- • Not ideal for: Users requiring heavy thermal liners for extreme cold water immersion
Five-finger, pre-curved gloves use MX2 foam, Flaremesh lining and Wind Mesh neoprene. GBS seams and junction taping minimise water ingress while a removable VELCRO Brand wristband secures the fit.
Superior grip and line control, thanks to friction grip and MX2 Foam
Friction grip patterns combine with MX2 foam to maintain tactile feedback when surfaces are wet, helping to reduce slippage. The materials are chosen to remain grippy without adding bulk.
Improved hold on lines, handles and board edges, allowing more precise manoeuvres and safer adjustments during rides.
Warmth without restricting movement, with GBS seams and Flaremesh lining
Glued Blind Stitched seams reduce water flushing at joins while Flaremesh and junction taping inside create a thin insulating layer. Wind Mesh neoprene helps block wind chill from the back of the hand.
Hands stay warmer for longer during sessions, yet flexibility remains, so reaction times and control are not compromised.
Natural hand posture and freedom, with M-Flex 2.0 pre-curved construction
M-Flex 2.0 neoprene offers enhanced stretch and durability, paired with a pre-curved five-finger shape that matches the hand in a riding position. Fewer GBS seams reduce stiffness across bending points.
Reduced hand fatigue and quicker finger movement, making handling fast line changes and fine adjustments easier.
