Summer Gloves

Summer Sailing Gloves

In summer the challenge is not the cold but the sun, the salt and the constant chafing of the lines. Summer sailing gloves are light and breathable, designed to protect the palm during manoeuvres without making the hand sweat.

Short-finger models are the racing favourite: they leave the fingertips free to untie knots and trim precisely, while the Amara-reinforced palm absorbs the friction of sheets and halyards. The fabrics on the back, often with a UV treatment, shield from the rays on long days on the water.

For sizing aim for a second-skin fit: a summer glove should almost disappear on the hand. Look for stretch panels, fast drying and pull tabs to take them off quickly when it gets hot.
