All About Sailing Gloves

Your hands need to be warm and dry while racing, as you need to be able to grip things properly and quickly without your hands slipping. There are various styles of gloves used in sailboat racing, some are long gloves with the fingers covered and some are short with the fingertips uncovered. Buy a pair that suits you best, but make sure they are water resistant or dry quickly and keep you warm. You also need good hand and finger mobility, so make sure they don't restrict your movement in these areas. They should also be lightweight and durable with enough padding in the palms to prevent rope burn. Make sure they fit properly and don't slide down your hands. Gloves are made in various materials, sizes, styles and colors.
