Your cart is empty. Our 5mm wetsuit "claw" gloves are an easy way to instantly add warmth to any wetsuit.
No more numb fingers post-surf, trying to get your car unlocked and your wetsuit peeled off.
Put these gloves on after you put your wetsuit on. Pull your wetsuit wrist cuffs over the gloves for a watertight seal.
The 5mm limestone-based neoprene with thermal lining keeps all that heat from escaping your hands.
Windy? Doesn't matter with these gloves. (Sorry about the wave quality though)
No wind or water is getting through the SmoothSkin exterior and GBS + Fluid Sealed seams.
The textured palm makes it easy to grip your surfboard, and the 3 finger claw/mitten design provides maximum warmth while maintaining finger and thumb mobility.
Recommended for water as cold as 46°F.

Bit tight around the wrists getting on and off but warm and happy

Work great but are really tight. My boyfriend has rather wide hands and he has a hard time getting them on. I mean I guess they have to be tight for the intended use but they’re maybe just a little too tight. They do keep the cold water out though. They’re well constructed and seem like they will last a long time.

At first I thought I'd gotten the wrong size, these seemed small and tough to get on at first. But once you get it on you see why, it's a very tight seal. Stuck my hand in the water beyond the glove/up to my elbow, and hardly any water gets in. The wrist seal is nice and snug. In the big 3 finger section, I could rub my fingers together and they still felt dry. The "claw" design does impact dexterity of course, so these may not work well for diving. However for surfing (as they're advertised for), these should be excellent. Allowing your 3 fingers to stick together should work great for keeping them warm. They feel thick and sturdy, and seem great for keeping the water out. Would recommend.

I've used a number of neoprene wetsuits, gloves and booties and from experience can say these are excellent quality gloves. All seams have blind stitches sewn from the inside then coated and sealed in order to protect the threads and keep them watertight. They look and feel quality.The neoprene is 5m thick and has a "cloth" lining which feels wonderful. The palms have a dot pattern that helps in gripping objects and the cuffs are capped with a thin neoprene layer that helps to seal them preventing water from getting in and warm air from getting out.I'll be using them primarily for kayaking and I really appreciate the three-finger combo mitten-glove design that allows me to manipulate objects while keeping the gloves on. I recently wore them outside in 20 degree weather for an hour while shoveling snow and they worked great.I have a complaint however, and that is with the sizing. I ordered the "large" and expected they would fit fine. I'm 5' 10" and have average size hands but these things were super tight at the wrist. It's a bear to get my hand through, especially when one hand is already wearing the other glove. It the field, it will be even worse when my hands are cold and wet.A bite strap, zipper or Velcro would be a big help. Getting them off/on quickly is a big deal when paddling in freezing conditions. By the way, once on the gloves are on, they fit great and are roomy and comfortable.Bottom Line: You won't go wrong with the quality of these gloves but you might go wrong with the fit. I'm not sure whether I should have ordered an XL instead of L or whether the problem is just the wrist opening. I recommend these gloves but include a warning about the fit.

Not right weather at the moment for scuba diving but I thought I would try them out while snowblowing.The gloves seemed a bit tight at first but slipping the gloves over aerosol cans helped stretch them a bit.They certainly stayed dry, my single finger got a little cold, it was 10F but not bad and the grip was great.Cant wait to try them out as intended. Nice quality.

Fair warning: I'm a Ho Stevie fanboy and bought a 5/4 wetsuit after trying their 3mm gloves. The more-flexible neoprene is no joke; it really is very comfortable for such a thick wetsuit, and it's VERY warm. Like 3-hour comfort wingfoiling in sub-40 degree air and water. My 3mm gloves are size Large and fit a little small even though I'm usually a size 9 glove, so I ordered these mitts in XL. Unfortunately all the water around me was frozen by the time they arrived so I can't comment on the warmth, but based on the 5/4 wetsuit I have no doubt these are plenty warm. I also think the neoprene is flexible enough I should be able to wing with these without much arm pump, which is a problem I often have with thicker gloves/mitts.The negative side of these mitts is the fit. For my size 9 hands, the index finger and middle-through-pinkie pocket is just right. Snug, but not right, for good circulation to my fingers. The thumb, however, has a good 1/2" of extra space past the end of my thumb. I don't think it's so much that it's going to be problematic for winging and I think it would be just fine for surfing, but it does seem abnormally long compared to the rest of the fingers.UPDATE: I finally got in the water with these, and they are great. My hands were toasty warm in 34 degrees water for a 1.5 hour session, and I didn't get much arm pump from fighting the gloves while gripping my wing. Once I was in the water I didn't notice the weird fit at all. Like everything else Ho Stevie, I'm a big fan!

They're awesome. they seem to have great build quality, seams are sealed well and very smooth, well hidden. The material is top tier, and feels nice in the hand, the fit is great, tight around the wrist with a little wiggle room on the inside with skinny hands to help with movement and letting a little water in to regulate temp. They're not too hard to put on both, the first is much easier than the second but with a little attention to detail you can use the thumb of the first inside the wrist of the second and slip it right on up and over the wrist of your wet suit. No complaints. Nice gloves. I would recommend.

I love the claw design! It is so much warmer with a couple of fingers stuck together. I ordered this not for swimming but for paddling. It has really helped with being able to paddle in the winter and not get cold water all over my hands.
