DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Insulation and Warmth
The O'Neill Epic SL 3mm gloves are designed to prevent heat loss in cold water and air. Their 3mm thickness strikes the perfect balance between insulation and dexterity, giving you the finger sensitivity you need to handle your leash, control bar, or straps.
Flexibility and Freedom of Movement
Built with 100% Ultraflex DS neoprene, these gloves are all about flexibility. Your hands can move naturally, helping you maintain precision and comfort throughout your session without any stiffness.
Polygrip Grip
The Polygrip textured palm gives you a superior hold on wet surfaces. You'll have more control when handling your lines, control bar, or the tail of your board, even when everything is soaked.
Sealed for Warmth
Glued and blind-stitched seams drastically reduce water entry, keeping your hands drier and warmer for longer. This construction helps lock in heat, extending your comfort during long sessions in cool weather.
