Short-Finger HS Mesh Gloves

FAQ

What are the ProLimit Gloves Shortfinger HS Mesh best suited for?

The ProLimit Gloves Shortfinger HS Mesh are designed as summer gloves for water sports such as windsurfing, wing foiling, kiting, SUP, and surfing. They combine wind protection with a high degree of freedom of movement and are particularly suitable for variable conditions where you need warmth while retaining fingertip sensitivity.

How thick is the neoprene of the gloves?

The gloves are made of 2 mm skin neoprene. This thickness provides sufficient insulation on cooler summer days without restricting hand mobility.

What material provides grip on the palm?

The palm and fingers are reinforced with Amara. Amara is a durable, grippy synthetic leather that provides a secure hold even when wet while also being abrasion-resistant.

Are the gloves waterproof?

The gloves are made of skin neoprene, meaning the inside sits directly against the skin and minimizes water ingress. However, they do not offer a 100% watertight seal like dry diving gloves – the open mesh exterior and short fingers provide significantly more breathability and freedom of movement instead.

How do the gloves fasten at the wrist?

The gloves feature a hook-and-loop fastener at the wrist, allowing you to adjust the fit individually. This ensures they sit securely without slipping or cutting in.

What sizes are the gloves available in?

The ProLimit Gloves Shortfinger HS Mesh are available in sizes S, M, L, and XL. You can find the exact size chart on the ProLimit website to determine the right size for your hand.

What air and water temperatures are the gloves designed for?

With a thickness of 2 mm, the gloves are designed for use during the transitional season and in summer, when water temperatures are approximately between 15 and 22°C. For significantly colder water, a thicker glove or a closed-finger model is recommended.

How do I properly care for the neoprene gloves?

Rinse the gloves with clean fresh water after every session and let them air dry, but not in direct sunlight. Avoid machine washing as well as contact with chlorine or harsh detergents so that the neoprene and Amara coating remain supple for a long time.
