Don’t you wish you could leave the water, with warm, dry hands?
After all, warm hands are safe hands; useful hands.
We don't do 'jingles' but - if we did, we'd sing.......
Now, Hands near the Fishes CAN feel warm and in place, in Wild, Green, Salty liquid!
XEROTECH® Gloves have protected divers and sailors from the elements, in and under water, for more than twenty years. 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® Orange, our original, 1991 design, are the most tactile and comfortable gloves, ideal for cold water photography and ecological work but they are less cut and puncture resistant than the Blue, or Yellow designs; although they exhibit very good abrasion resistance.
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 R.N., Police Divers, 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.
You’ll need to check whether this size fits you, so: measure your extended hand span, in inches. If the distance between the tip of your thumb and the tip of your fifth finger measures more than 91/2 inches but less than 101/2 inches, this size is yours
