Open Palm Mitten by Ion

Neo accessories are the key for turning your cold water days into good ones. ION’s Open Palm Mittens ensure a good grip and warmth. Thanks to the elongated cuff, cold water doesn’t get a chance to get into your suit.

In my 23 years of working in the windsurfing industry and most of that in the water, I have only meet 1 maybe 2 people that where able to wear a full glove windsurfing. The reality is that the extra material adds thickness to the boom and the forearms can’t take it. I have even tried 1.5mm but same story. Before I had even windsurfed out to the back of the waves, my forearms started to burn and I have tested this more then once. And the amount of times some one arrived to a windsurfing or Wing foiling lesson all smiley with their new gloves, to have them thrown on the shore within minutes.

Don’t waste your money! Yes there is a giant hole in the hand but once gripping your windsurfing boom or Wing handles the mitten will cover all your exposed skin, blocking the wind from chilling your skin and holding in your hands heat and allowing heat to build. A true winter game changer. Suitable for Windsurfing, Wing surf or Wing foiling, Kitesurfing or kayaking, canoeing etc. Anything where you are exposed to cold wind and you need your natural grip.
