Get wise, get warm, get XEROTECH®..

XEROTECH® Gloves have protected divers and sailors from the elements, in and under water, since 1991.
Their patent design protects against the effects of ‘squeeze’ when diving, so that you stay dry and comfortable – even in sub-freezing water temperatures. 

XEROTECH ^® Dry-gloves are available in three colours and four, EEC, sizes: Small (51/2-61/2), Medium (61/2-81/2), Large (81/2-(91/2) and Extra Large (91/2-101/2).
Very comfortable, tactile and warm, this Patented* design offers water tightness at the wrist, without affecting the integrity of a dry-suit and special versions are available, designed to fit with VIKING or Helios cuff-ring sets.

Used by commercial, Police and Military divers and codified by NATO, Xerotech gloves are clearly the best means of ensuring safe, warm, dry hands, on or in the water.

XEROTECH ^®Dry-gloves Blue, Orange or Yellow (two sizes only) are coloured to denote the performance characteristics of the membrane.

Orange gloves are made with a thin, very sensitive coating, suitable for sailing, water surface activities and fish handling (as used by the Environment Agency).

Yellow gloves are of a tough, double dipped latex, designed for cut and puncture resistance, when handling tools and sharp surfaces underwater.

Blue gloves offer the warmth of orange but are tougher, suitable for general diving duty and, like orange, have an integral lining, made from brushed terry-knit, rot-proof acrylic fibre.

XEROTECH ^® Dry-gloves offer both wrist closing seals and seals made to fit certain types of dry-suit cuff rings.
Wrist sealing gloves are suitable for use with any kind of suit or clothing. “Sleeve-seal” gloves are fixed to Helios or VIKING type cuff-ring systems. 

NATO’s Arctic task force uses XEROTECH® Gloves; for diving, swimming and snow exercises; reporting satisfactory results even in wind chill down to minus eighty degrees.
Our gloves are used by the Royal Marines, Police Divers and the Environment Agency, by the Borders Agency - and by almost all of the tall ships sailing crews, around the World.
They have been designed by professionals for use by professionals. 

Offering cut, puncture, chemical and abrasion resistance to EU standards, our gloves are tactile, too. 
You can use your underwater slate, handle the boat’s navigation kit and radio easily, all with your gloved hand. 

To help you choose which size fits you: measure your extended hand span.
In inches; the distance between the tip of your thumb and the tip of your fifth finger indicates your size. For instance; ten inches would be size 10, or XL, nine inches; size 9
