Product Features

  • IMAGINE IMPROVING YOUR PADDLE SPEED – DarkFin gloves are made with 3-D web profile, which compared to your bare hand for propulsion, increases surface area by 70 percent. Much more power and speed in the water
  • HANDLE OBJECTS EASILY – ultra-thin, 0.9 mm or 1/28 inch Second Skin swim gloves give finger dexterity to pick small objects, to press small buttons on a camera underwater or to adjust diving equipment
  • STAY LONGER IN THE WATER – this extra layer on your hands helps to keep them warmer, so you can enjoy catching waves or diving for longer
  • GET THE GLOVES ON/OFF WITH EASE – we recommend spraying a small amount of silicone lubricant spray on your hands and spread with a rubbing motion. Or get into the water, fill the gloves with water and put your hands in, then take the gloves above the water and squeegee down. To remove, just blow into the edge by your wrist and inflate them like a balloon. They pop right off
  • GET THE RIGHT SIZE – the gloves should fit tight and at the same time comfortable like a wetsuit. Look into the size chart to find the best size for your hands.
