Product Description Made by UK wetsuit company C Skins the S-Skins 5mm Lobster Gloves originate from the world of surfing. However, these are the warmest swim mitts we have ever used; they are the choice of our swim guides. Made from flexible 5mm neoprene for extra warmth in extreme conditions, the snug long cuffs and liquid rubber sealed seams make them ideal open water swimming. These are the perfect gloves for use right through the winter… Only for the Committed. Cheap gloves and mitts can be a let down to the swimmer because they suffer from poor design and construction. C-Skins mitts and gloves, on the other hand (pun intended), are designed and constructed to a high standard and have stood the test of time. Ensure a snug fit and the sealed seams mean you won’t be flapping around in these gloves. The build quality of these mitts is exceptional. Neoprene Gloves Size Guide: A snug fit is best for swimming gloves. Remember, neoprene stretches slightly when wet. When you try on the gloves “dry”, they should be a very snug fit. Ladies will most likely need 2XS – XS for swimming, whereas most guys are likely to need Med/Large for swimming . Tuck the edge of the gloves under your wetsuit for even better results. See the size chart in the product images.
