Gloves

Nautical gloves are an essential accessory for anyone engaged in maritime activities, from sailing to fishing. They protect hands from abrasions, cold, sun, and moisture, enhancing grip and safety during maneuvers. Choosing the right glove depends on the specific activity and environmental conditions.

Neoprene Gloves: These gloves provide excellent thermal insulation, keeping hands warm even when wet. Neoprene is a flexible and durable material, ensuring a superior grip on ropes, fishing gear, and the helm. They are perfect for sailing, freediving, and other water activities. The thickness of the neoprene determines the level of thermal insulation; choose a greater thickness for colder seasons. These also make excellent protective gloves.

Leather Gloves: Leather gloves offer outstanding sensitivity and abrasion protection. They are ideal for those seeking direct contact with equipment, such as sport fishermen or sailors who need to handle lines with precision. Half-finger models leave the fingertips free, allowing for knot tying and other delicate operations. Leather also provides good sun protection. Leather gloves can also be used as safety gloves in certain situations.

Technical Fabric Gloves: Made with breathable and quick-drying materials, these gloves are perfect for hot and sunny days. They offer sun protection and a good grip without compromising sensitivity. Some models feature leather or silicone reinforcements for enhanced abrasion resistance.

UV Protection: Prolonged sun exposure can damage the skin on your hands. Many nautical gloves offer UV protection, an important detail for those spending many hours at sea.

Reinforced Gloves: For activities requiring greater protection, such as deep-sea fishing or handling heavy equipment, choose gloves with reinforcements made of leather or abrasion-resistant synthetic materials. These are ideal work gloves for demanding tasks.
