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

The Vaikobi V-Grip Deck Gloves Full Finger Gen 2 are performance sailing gloves designed for high-activity trimming, smaller-diameter lines and demanding line handling. Combining targeted V-Grip traction, a durable Amara-Tex palm, hybrid full-finger protection and a breathable UV50+ stretch back, they provide reliable grip, protection and dexterity without unnecessary bulk.

The Gen 2 V-Grip Deck Gloves are built for sailors and paddlers who need precise control during fast, repetitive trimming and line handling. Targeted V-Grip zones are positioned to maximise pulling power while allowing smooth, controlled line release, making them particularly effective when working with finer-diameter ropes.

The hybrid full-finger design provides additional protection while retaining the feel needed for detailed sailing tasks. Three fingers are fully covered, while the thumb and first finger remain exposed to preserve dexterity and fingertip feedback when handling lines, controls and equipment.

A durable Amara-Tex synthetic suede palm provides reliable grip and helps withstand repeated use. Reinforced high-wear areas add protection where the glove experiences the most abrasion, while single-layer fingertips maintain sensitivity and reduce unnecessary bulk.

The Gen 2 update features a slightly extended wrist cuff for a more secure and supportive fit. An adjustable low-profile wrist closure sits comfortably against the skin while maintaining wrist mobility, making the gloves suitable for long sessions on the water.

A breathable stretch back provides airflow and flexibility, while built-in UV50+ sun protection helps protect the hands during extended exposure. Seamless outer-edge construction removes the side seam to reduce irritation and pressure points.

An integrated hang loop and stainless steel clip provide convenient storage between sessions, allowing the gloves to be attached to a sailing bag, harness or belt loop.

The Vaikobi V-Grip Deck Gloves Full Finger Gen 2 are designed with a snug performance fit. The materials relax slightly with use and when wet, and Vaikobi recommends sizing up if you are between sizes.

Measure palm width from the base of the index finger to the base of the hand. Measure middle-finger length from its base to the tip. Vaikobi recommends measuring both hands, as hand dimensions can vary. If you are between sizes, sizing up is recommended.
