When should I replace my wetsuit gloves?

You should replace your wetsuit gloves if they start leaking, tearing, or the neoprene becomes stiff and loses insulation. Damaged gloves won’t keep your hands warm, affecting comfort and performance during your surf sessions.

How do I choose the right thickness for wetsuit gloves in the Bob Gnarly Surf collection?

Choosing the right thickness depends on the water temperature you’ll be in. Our Bob Gnarly Surf gloves come in 3mm to 5mm neoprene options—3mm works great for milder cold water, while 5mm offers extra warmth for colder conditions. Think about how chilly the water gets during your activities like surfing or diving to pick the best fit.

What’s the best way to ensure a snug and comfortable fit with these wetsuit gloves?

A proper fit is key to keeping water out and staying comfortable. We recommend choosing gloves that fit snugly around your fingers and wrists without feeling too tight. Our gloves feature adjustable wrist straps and pre-curved fingers to enhance comfort and grip. Make sure to measure your hand size according to our size guide to find your perfect match.

How should I care for my Bob Gnarly Surf wetsuit gloves to make them last?

To keep your gloves in top shape, rinse them with fresh water after every use to wash away salt and sand. Avoid leaving them in the sun for a long time—dry them in the shade instead. Store them flat or hanging to maintain their shape. Proper care helps extend the warmth and durability of your gloves.

What makes the wetsuit gloves from Bob Gnarly Surf stand out for cold water activities?

Our gloves combine high-quality neoprene with thoughtful features like reinforced palms and fingers for durability, plus open-cell or closed-cell neoprene to balance warmth and flexibility. Adjustable wrist straps and pre-curved fingers ensure comfort and improved grip, making them ideal for cold water surfing, diving, and paddleboarding.

Are these wetsuit gloves suitable for both men and women and various water sports?

Neoprene gloves are lightweight, flexible, and designed to fit snugly. Their thermal properties trap warmth, keeping your hands functional in cold water.

Cold water gloves are perfect for winter sessions when temperatures drop. Thermal gloves are thicker, usually ranging from 3mm to 5mm, to provide extra warmth.

Designed for Performance and Comfort

Gloves combine performance with comfort to ensure long-lasting wear. Flexibility gloves allow natural movement, reducing fatigue during extended sessions.

Gloves for men and wetsuit gloves for women are available in various sizes and designs. Proper fit ensures maximum comfort and prevents water from entering. Many gloves feature reinforced palms and fingers to improve durability and grip, helping you maintain control in challenging conditions.

Choosing the Right Gloves

Selecting the right gloves depends on water temperature, activity, and personal preference. For cold water surfing, thicker gloves provide warmth, while thinner gloves offer more flexibility. Dive gloves are usually designed for deeper, colder dives, with thicker neoprene and reinforced seams. Paddleboarding or kayaking may require gloves with extra grip and dexterity.

It’s also important to consider the type of neoprene used. Open-cell neoprene offers warmth but requires careful handling to prevent tearing. Closed-cell neoprene is more durable but may sacrifice some flexibility. Look for gloves with quality stitching and sealed seams to minimize water entry. Thermal wetsuit gloves with smooth exterior layers reduce drag in the water while maintaining insulation.

Care and Maintenance for Longevity

Proper care extends the life of your gloves. Rinse gloves with fresh water after every use to remove salt, sand, or debris. Avoid exposing gloves to direct sunlight for extended periods, as UV rays can degrade neoprene. Hang dry in a shaded, ventilated area to prevent stretching or warping.

Regular inspection for tears or worn areas ensures gloves maintain their performance. Minor repairs with neoprene adhesive can save your gloves from premature replacement. Store gloves flat or loosely rolled to maintain shape and prevent creases. Following these simple steps helps your gloves remain functional season after season.

Enhance Your Water Experience

Using wetsuit gloves enhances your water experience by combining warmth, protection, and performance. Cold water sessions become more enjoyable, allowing longer surfing, diving, or paddling adventures. With the right gloves, you can maintain grip, dexterity, and comfort no matter the conditions. Investing in quality wetsuit gloves ensures your hands stay safe, warm, and ready for action.

Whether you’re exploring new surf spots or tackling winter waves, having reliable wetsuit gloves makes all the difference. Accessories like reinforced palms, pre-curved fingers, and adjustable wrist straps enhance usability and comfort. Our collection offers gloves suitable for every type of water adventure, ensuring there’s a perfect pair for everyone.
