Calling cold water kiters! - Glove me.

[zerogee_ca]

Hey men,

I'm looking for advice on some as thin as possible, precurved gloves. They don't need to be the warmest but they have to be thin, I get really bad arm pump otherwise!

What do you have / recommend?

Thanking you in advance!

Define your idea of "COLD".

For me, 2mm gloves are pointless. Thats bare handed weather to me.❄

I use the NRS mitts when it gets cold. No other gloves I have used can compare.

Precurved and good fit is a must to limit arm fatigue and blisters while maximizing comfort and warmth.

I don't buy any gloves any more what are not precurved!

I agree. I had, for many years, a pair of thin not pre-curved neoprene gloves. They were not that warm & caused forearm fatigue. I now have a pair of relatively thick gloves that are seriously pre-curved. They are very warm & create minimal forearm fatigue.

A hook to hold onto the bar would be best! Like a pirate. I bet pirate hooks don't get cold.

But most pirates sail on warm seas, so their hooks wouldn't get too cold, if I can think of some cold water pirates, I'll ask them

NP Surf 3 Finger Mitts can't be beat for both warmth and arm pump. I can log 4 hour winter sessions in them.

Thanks guys!

I've ordered some ION precurved ones, the ride engine ones look amazing but I can't find any for delivery to me

These - in XL, so they are really baggy - put them on before your wetsuit, and pull your wetsuit on over them. If it gets REALLY cold, put some very thin glove liners under them.
