Short finger gloves are the favourite choice of dinghy sailors who need maximum sensitivity in their manoeuvres: by leaving the fingertips of thumb and index free, they allow precise trimming of sheets, ropes and knots while still protecting the palm and back of the hand.
Made with Amara or synthetic leather palms and non-slip reinforcements, they deliver excellent grip on wet sheets and prevent blisters and rope burn during intense racing. Half-finger versions and those with exposed index and thumb meet different needs of feel and protection.
They are ideal in milder seasons and for sailors on technical dinghies such as ILCA, 470, 49er and RS Feva, where constant dialogue with the controls is decisive. Leading brands for short finger gloves: Zhik, Vaikobi, GUL and Musto.
