Protection by sailing gloves Showa 310 or Showa 330 or Showa 380
Hand protection experts recommend to sailors using work gloves from Showa that score better than the fashionable "standard" and expensive sailing gloves available in sailing shops for multiple reasons.
What are exactly the hazards sailing champions face? Sunburn is a threat when on open sea. When gripping on the ropes or on wood or metal parts there is always a risk of burning your hand palms by abrasion. Bumping or impacting your knuckles of other parts of your hands is another vital problem when actions are executed quickly.
Losing grip on ropes and surfaces is probably one of the most important issues to be tackled. Showa 310, 330 380 are sailor's best choice for gripping and protecting the hand, while sweat and sea water can still evaporate through the breathing liner.
Ben Aisle, 4 times Olympic Champion in Sailing, recommends the Showa 330 RE-GRIP glove that has a strong, comfortable grip, which as an Olympic sailor he needs to be able to rely on in tough sailing conditions.
Price indication for sailing gloves
In sailing shops simple sailing gloves cost easily over 10 euro while they can be thrown away after a few hours of sailing while Showa gloves are 10x more durable and only cost 2 - 5 euro per pair.
The more fashionable gloves cost easily 20 euro until 50 euro. These last slightly longer than the simple sailing gloves but still far shorter than the Showa gloves, while the Showa gloves provide real gripping and protection features.
