Vaikobi V-Grip Deck Gloves, Full Finger - Gen 2

Built for sailors and paddlers who demand secure grip and increased protection, the Vaikobi V-Grip Deck Gloves, Full Finger - Gen 2 offer confident control in high-load, high-activity conditions. Retaining the proven performance of the original V-Grip design, this updated generation adds a slightly longer wrist cuff and refined detailing for a more secure and comfortable fit.

Targeted V-Grip zones are strategically positioned to maximise pulling power while allowing smooth, controlled line release. This makes them particularly effective when working with smaller-diameter ropes and during fast, repetitive trimming. The durable Amara-Tex palm provides long-lasting grip through repeated use, while reinforced high-wear areas protect the hand without adding unnecessary bulk.

The hybrid full finger design offers added coverage where it matters most, with three fingers fully protected and the thumb and first finger left open to preserve dexterity and feel. A single-layer fingertip construction maintains sensitivity, while seamless outer-edge construction eliminates irritation and reduces pressure points during extended sessions.

A breathable stretch back improves airflow and flexibility, with built-in UV50+ sun protection for long days exposed on the water. Finished with an adjustable low-profile wrist closure and an integrated hang loop with stainless steel clip, the Gen 2 V-Grip Deck Gloves Full Finger are built for performance sailing and paddling when protection, comfort and control all matter.
