Neoprene Gloves: Keep Your Hands Warm in Cold Water

(7 products)

Why wear neoprene gloves while surfing?

Hands are particularly exposed to the cold during surfing, bodyboarding, or water sports sessions. When the water temperature drops, neoprene gloves help retain heat, improve comfort, and maintain good mobility to keep paddling effectively.

Since 1976, we have seen that surfers who equip themselves properly significantly extend their winter sessions by choosing a high-performance accessory and a neoprene wetsuit. Surf gloves are among the accessories that provide the most comfort when temperatures become more demanding.

What thickness to choose according to water temperature?

The choice mainly depends on the water temperature and your sensitivity to the cold.

  • 2 mm to 3 mm: ideal for cool mid-season waters.
  • 3 mm to 5 mm: perfect for autumn and winter at most French spots.
  • 5 mm and more: recommended for very cold waters and long winter sessions.

An appropriate thickness helps retain heat while preserving enough sensitivity to paddle and maneuver effectively.

An essential complement to the neoprene wetsuit

Even with a Men's Wetsuit, a Women's Wetsuit, or a Children's Wetsuit that performs well, the extremities remain the first areas affected by the cold.

Neoprene gloves effectively complement overall thermal protection and often allow you to stay in the water much longer when temperatures drop.

Complete gear for winter sessions

Practitioners who surf year-round generally pair their gloves with Neoprene Booties and a Neoprene Hood.

This combination helps protect the main areas of thermal loss in the body and significantly improves comfort during long winter sessions.

Classic gloves or mittens?

Classic gloves offer more precision and freedom of movement for the fingers. Mittens, on the other hand, prioritize warmth by grouping several fingers in the same compartment.

The choice mainly depends on the water temperature, the duration of the sessions, and the personal preferences of the practitioner.

Caring for neoprene gloves

Like all neoprene equipment, gloves should be rinsed with fresh water after each session to remove salt, sand, and impurities.

Regular use of Neoprene Care products helps maintain the flexibility of the materials and increases the lifespan of the equipment.

FAQ

Choosing the right neoprene gloves

How to choose your neoprene gloves for surfing?
Compare the thickness, flexibility, fit, and seams based on the conditions of your sessions. The gloves should allow for paddling and support on the board without hindering the fingers. A non-slip palm can enhance grip, while a thermal lining adds to insulation.

What thickness of gloves to choose: 2, 3, or 5 mm?
Gloves 2 mm prioritize flexibility and feel. The 3 mm offer a balance between mobility and thermal protection, while the 5 mm provide more insulation with a similar construction. Also check the lining and seams: thickness alone does not determine warmth.

At what temperature should you wear neoprene gloves?
The need depends on your sensitivity to the cold, the wind, and the duration of the session. Check the recommended temperatures for each model rather than a single threshold. Equip yourself when your hands become uncomfortably cold, in addition to a wetsuit suitable for the conditions.

How to choose the right size of neoprene gloves?
Measure your hand according to the manufacturer's size guide. The gloves should fit the palm and fingers snugly without compressing or leaving large pockets. When trying them on, open your hand and make a fist: movements should remain comfortable, without excessive tension.

Which gloves to choose for long-coast swimming?
Choose thermal protection suitable for water, with good finger mobility and comfortable wrist support. The Ocean Step Neogloves 5 mm are designed for winter long-distance swimming, featuring a non-slip palm, GBS seams, and extended cuffs to limit water entry.

Are neoprene gloves completely waterproof?
They mainly aim to isolate the hands and limit water renewals. The glued seams and blind-stitched seams, as well as certain reinforcements, reduce infiltrations without guaranteeing dry hands. The fit at the wrist is also important: an opening that is too loose allows more water to enter.

How to wear your gloves with a wetsuit?
On many sets, the cuffs of the gloves are placed under the sleeves of the wetsuit to limit water entry. However, follow the model's instructions. Avoid creases and ensure that the layering remains comfortable at the wrist, without hindering movement. Neoprene booties and a hood complete the protection in cold water.

How to maintain your neoprene gloves?
Rinse them with fresh cold water after each session, then let them dry in the shade in a ventilated area. Avoid radiators, tumble dryers, and damp storage. For a more thorough cleaning, choose a compatible neoprene care product and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
