Alder Future 2.5mm Wetsuit Gloves

The Alder Future 2.5mm Wetsuit Gloves are designed for cold-water surfers who want warmth without sacrificing the freedom and dexterity needed in the water. Made from high-stretch 2.5mm neoprene, they provide lightweight insulation while allowing your fingers to move naturally for paddling, popping up and controlling your board.

The single-lined back helps reduce windchill, making these gloves particularly useful when cold air and cold water combine. On the palm, durable double-lined neoprene provides extra protection against wear while delivering dependable grip season after season.

Unlike bulkier winter gloves that can leave your hands feeling restricted, the Alder Future is designed to keep things flexible and responsive. Whether you're paddling out, ducking under waves or getting to your feet, these gloves help keep your hands warm and nimble when the water temperature drops.

Why We Like The Alder Future Gloves

For surfers, there's a fine balance between keeping your hands warm and retaining enough feel to surf properly. The Alder Future's 2.5mm high-stretch neoprene is designed around that balance.

The thinner construction keeps the gloves flexible, while the wind-resistant single-lined back helps protect against the chill. The double-lined palm adds durability in the areas that take the most punishment, making these a practical option for regular cold-water surfing.

They're a great choice if you want the protection of neoprene gloves without the bulky feel of thicker winter gloves.
