Warm hands for winter sailing without the restriction of thick fabric
The Rooster designed aquafleece fabric has been utilized to provide a winter sailing glove that not only provides protection from extreme elements but that performs even when wet.
No longer do your winter sailing gloves have to be made of thick material that impede the movement of the fingers and remove the ability to feel the ropes properly as the aquafleece fabric is thin and stretchy with a fine micro fleece lining. This enables the gloves to be the same thickness as summer sailing gloves, providing the wearer with a full range of movement and feel. The gloves eliminate wind-chill keeping your hands nice and toasty even in a gale! The fleecy inner layer is comfortable and very quickly warms up warms up even when putting the gloves on wet.
“I took a pair of these gloves with me on the Round Britain and Ireland yacht race this year and was very impressed. Off the Shetland Isles I was very glad of them, I was still able to feel and grip the sail on the foredeck for sail changes when some of the crew were resorting to taking their winter sailing gloves off. Even coming on watch at 4am and putting them on wet was fine because they warmed up within a minute from the heat of my hands. I would thoroughly recommend these gloves to everyone and I will certainly be wearing them this winter on my dinghy.” M Humphreys.
