Showa 406 Gloves for Sailing
These are a firm favourite of the QMSC ILCA/Laser fleet (for the very coldest of days of the winter) despite not being a specific sailing glove. Designed for comfort and enhanced protection, these flexible high-grip gloves are ideal for use when working in very cold, wet environments. The gloves have a fully coated foam latex design that is double-dipped, ensuring comprehensive coverage and durability. Specifically designed for thermal resistance, they excel in protecting against extreme temperatures and harsh conditions.
For a cheaper and less insulated version try our Showa 451.
Please be aware that they will not last as long as an Amara-reinforced sailing glove. Click here to buy other sailing and watersports gloves.
