Sizes run from XS to 2XL.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy it's worth a look\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThick gloves keep you warm but turn your fingers into sausages, and thin ones tear the first time you grab a rusty line. At 3mm, this glove lands in the middle. It's warm enough for cooler water and deeper thermoclines, yet thin enough to press camera buttons, manage a reel or clear your mask without a fight. The pre-bent fingers mean your hand isn't working against the neoprene all dive, which reduces grip fatigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBigger hands often get stuck with gloves that are too short in the fingers or too tight across the palm. The stretch neoprene gives more than a stiff glove does, and the size run goes up to 2XL. Measure before you order, though; don't assume your usual size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3mm Quantum Stretch limestone-based neoprene with four-way stretch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArmorTex fabric on the palm and fingertips for puncture and abrasion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eErgonomic pre-bent fingers for comfort and less water movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkin-in cuff that seals better against your wetsuit sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlued and blind-stitched seams for a durable, water-resistant finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade with solvent-free, water-based glue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3mm, for moderate, temperate and cool water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e XS, SM, MD, LG, XL, 2XL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGood for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Recreational diving, wreck diving, lobster hunting, spearfishing and utility work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore you buy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasure around your palm at the knuckles (not including your thumb) and from your wrist crease to the tip of your middle finger, then compare to Akona's chart. Gloves should be snug with no air pockets at the fingertips, but you should still be able to make a full fist. Check local rules too: some marine parks don't allow gloves.
