FAQs

What is the recommended water temperature for these gloves?

These gloves are ideal for water temperatures ranging from 51 to 58 degrees Fahrenheit (11 to 14 degrees Celsius).

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

No, you should never put neoprene gloves in a washing machine. Always hand-rinse with fresh water.

How should I dry them to prevent odors?

Lay them flat in a cool, shaded area. Avoid drying them in direct sunlight or using a heat source like a radiator, which can damage the neoprene.

What does the 1.5mm thickness mean?

The 1.5mm refers to the thickness of the neoprene material, which provides a balance between insulation and maximum dexterity.

Does the silicon grip wear off?

With regular use and proper care, the grip will last a long time, though like any performance gear, it may eventually show signs of wear depending on your frequency of use.

Are these gloves specific to a hand?

Yes, these gloves are designed with an ergonomic fit to match the specific shape of the left and right hands for optimal performance.

Troubleshooting

Water flushing into the glove

Ensure the wrist cuff is lying flat against your skin without any wrinkles or fabric bunched underneath.

Difficulty putting on the glove

Try wetting your hands slightly or using a small amount of wetsuit-safe lubricant to help the glove slide over the skin more easily.

Seams showing signs of wear

Inspect for small tears or separation and consult a professional wetsuit repair kit or authorized repair center immediately to prevent further damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your High Seas gloves, always put them on dry before entering the water, ensuring the cuffs are pulled snugly against your wrists to create a seal. Proper maintenance is critical for neoprene gear:

  1. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after every session, focusing on both the inside and the outside.
  2. Do not use harsh soaps or detergents.
  3. Lay the gloves flat to dry in a cool, shaded area.
  4. Avoid direct sunlight, as UV rays can degrade the neoprene and weaken the glue in the seams.
  5. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mold or odors.
