DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Warmth and Comfort
You'll feel the difference in warmth right away thanks to the plush fleece lining. It provides soft insulation that reduces the discomfort from the cold. The 4/3 neoprene balances insulation and mobility, which is handy when you need to handle a bar or paddle without taking the mittens off.
Lobster Design and Feel
The lobster design groups your fingers to minimize heat loss, while leaving your index finger and thumb free for a solid grip. This means you maintain excellent feel and control over your bar or handle, without the bulky sensation of a traditional mitten.
Design and Materials
The mitten is built around 4/3 neoprene combined with a super-soft inner lining. This pairing prioritizes warmth and instant comfort. The smooth interior finish makes them easy to pull on and reduces irritation during long sessions.
Choosing the Right Size
Sizing affects both warmth and dexterity: a mitten that's too tight will reduce insulation, while one that's too loose will decrease sensitivity. Choose a size that fits your palm snugly without excessive creasing at the wrist.
Care and Lifespan
Rinse your mittens with fresh water after every session to remove salt and sand. Let them dry in the shade, away from direct heat sources. The super-soft lining is comfortable, but treat it with care to maintain its insulating properties for longer.
On-Water Use
Designed for cool conditions, this mitten keeps your hands warm enough to extend your sessions. Whether you're handling a control bar or a paddle, the lobster cut strikes the perfect balance between warmth and a solid, reliable grip.
