5mm Absolute Upcycler 5-Finger Wetsuit Glove

PRO STRETCH fabric is a specialized material used in our wetsuit gloves that combines recycled polyester and elastane. This technology offers exceptional flexibility and comfort, allowing for greater movement in the water. With PRO STRETCH, you can maintain dexterity in your hands while keeping them warm, enhancing your overall surfing performance.

SMART foam is an innovative insulation material made from recycled neoprene, a synthetic rubber commonly used in wetsuits. This "smart" foam provides excellent thermal insulation to keep your hands warm in cold water. By using recycled materials, we reduce environmental impact while ensuring you stay comfortable during your surf sessions.

GBS stands for Glued and Blind-Stitched seams, a construction technique that minimizes water entry. The seams are glued together and stitched in a way that reduces the number of holes in the fabric. This method enhances the durability and warmth of the gloves, making them more effective for surfing in colder conditions.

The term "Recycler" refers to the lining material in our wetsuit gloves, which is made from post-consumer recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate). This means the lining is created from recycled plastic bottles and other plastic products, promoting sustainability and reducing waste, while still providing comfort and performance.

Insulation is crucial for maintaining body heat while surfing in cold water. Our gloves use advanced materials like SMART foam to provide effective thermal insulation, which helps keep your hands warm and reduces the risk of hypothermia. This ensures you can enjoy longer surf sessions without compromising your safety.

Yes! Thanks to the PRO STRETCH fabric and thoughtful design, our wetsuit gloves offer excellent grip and dexterity. This allows you to easily handle your surfboard and other equipment while keeping your hands warm, making them ideal for both performance and comfort in the water.
