Which gloves work best? I normally have 3 finger gloves for my wingfoil sessions, but imagine with parawing lines etc, collapsing, aligning the leading edge battens that I'll need gloves with a bit more feel.

Keen to hear experiences of what works best 🙏

Palmless mitts, flip them back when needed. Layer over thick dishwashing gloves

I’ve used these for 2 season and they’re great: soliteboots.com/products/4-3-wind-paddle-split-mitt?_pos=6&_sid=e0787f359&_ss=r

I’ve used the 4/3 in the coldest conditions where riding becomes not possible because Parawings & boards just become covered in ice. My hands stay warm. I attribute this to the more loose fit and stretchy material.

Not sure how cold you’re going but they have a 3/2 version too with 5 fingers.

Pre-curved is the most important part for me. Cuts down on hand fatigue like crazy. I’m a back line guy using BRM so stow is pretty easy.
