Neoprene gloves are your go-to for cold-water sessions across the board—whether you’re wing foiling, kiting, windsurfing, wakeboarding, surfing, or hitting the SUP. They keep your hands shielded from wind, spray, and icy temps so you can stay out longer without losing feeling.

The insulating neoprene locks in warmth, giving you solid grip and control on your bar, foil, or board. Plus, they’ve got your back against abrasion, blisters, and those little knocks that come with pushing limits. Perfect for riders who don’t quit when the water gets cold.

When the water gets icy, go for neoprene gloves with thicker material and a warm lining to keep your hands protected and your session going strong.

Depending on what you ride, here are the main options:

• Mittens: Warmth for brutal conditions. The Lobster style blends heat with handling, while Open-Palm mittens give you direct contact with your bar or boom—perfect for kiting and windsurfing.

• Full-Finger Gloves: More freedom and precision for gear control. Our Claw Gloves come pre-curved for solid grip and less fatigue.

• Hybrid Gloves: Built for unpredictable weather with a water-repellent finish and light neoprene insulation.

• Amara Gloves (Half or Full Finger): Extra abrasion protection and grip for warmer days or added durability.

Neoprene gloves with 3mm thickness are perfect for cool to moderately cold conditions—when you need protection from wind and spray but still want plenty of flexibility for your gear.

Ideal for kiteboarding, wing foiling, windsurfing, surfing, and SUP during fall or spring sessions. Perfect for longer rides where grip is more important than insulation.

If temps drop below 10°C (50°F) or you’re hitting seriously cold water, step up to thicker gloves or mittens to keep your hands warm and your session alive.

ION neoprene gloves stand for premium quality, thoughtful design, and performance in cold conditions. They offer not only warmth and protection but also high-quality craftsmanship for durability and comfort:

• Ergonomic Fit: Pre-curved models reduce fatigue and effectively protect hands from wind.

• High-Quality Seams: With Glued Blind Stitch, the neoprene is glued and only partially stitched to minimize water entry. Tatex Glue serves as an additional coating on the seams for superior waterproofing and high tear resistance.

• Grip and Control: Special coatings on the inner surface ensure a secure hold on the bar, foil, or board.

• Thermal Insulation: Premium neoprene with a warm lining reliably protects against cold, wind, and spray.

Basically, all ION neoprene gloves are suitable for different water sports such as kiteboarding, windsurfing, wing foiling, SUP, or surfing. The choice mainly depends on your priorities:

• Full-finger gloves provide warmth and flexibility, making them ideal for precise handling when kiteboarding or wing foiling. However, they offer less grip on the boom, which can be a disadvantage for windsurfing.

• For grip on the boom, open-palm models or pre-curved gloves are the better choice. They allow direct contact or an ergonomic position that reduces fatigue.

• Hybrid models are practical for changing conditions, as they are water-repellent and offer light protection against abrasion.
