Bought these after a winter's day on the water when my hands were so cold that I couldn't hold the mainsheet. Having used them now a couple of times, I'm really impressed. They are warm (even when wet), have good grip and allow good finger movement. The hidden mitten feature is a brilliant idea and works really well.

The gloves were ordered as a christmas present foe a relative. I know that they are just what he wats

It’s ok, I am not convinced these are warmer than my 5mm neoprene gloves but they are thinner and probably have a better feel on the paddle. They are properly formed individual fingers which are a comfier fit than the generic pre shaped neoprene ones. The fleece lined cover for the fingers should make a difference.

I do however have an issue when paddleboarding as there is a slight excess of material on the padding on the thumb which regularly gets caught in the split clip of my paddle as I change hands so I have to stop and unhook my glove from the paddle. I may have to glue it down or trim it. The split clip has a v shaped gap which is perfect for catching the thumb pad of the glove.

Grip and probably wear resistance is good, but they do not keep you warm in cold and wet conditions. Both good grip and warm gloves is a big challenge, so I where not expecting them to be warm:-)

Really great gloves, useful when driving a rib or rope pulling when sailing ⛵️. The 4 Finger Pocket is also useful in the same context.

Downside, not waterproof but' still handy when on either craft.

Brought my pair at the RYA BOAT & DINGY Show in Farnborough.
