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

The Vaikobi V-Grip Pro Gloves Full Finger Gen 2 are high-performance sailing gloves designed for sailors handling larger-diameter lines and higher loads. Combining heavy-duty DURAPRO reinforcement, V-Grip traction, Amara-Tex synthetic suede and a breathable UV50+ stretch back, they provide enhanced hand protection and reliable grip while retaining the fingertip control needed for demanding trimming and line handling.

The Gen 2 V-Grip Pro Gloves are built for sailors who regularly work with loaded lines, larger ropes and demanding trimming systems. The reinforced construction is designed to withstand repeated abrasion and high loads while maintaining the comfort and control required during long sessions on the water.

The hybrid full-finger design provides additional coverage without completely sacrificing dexterity. Three fingers are fully protected, while the thumb and index finger remain exposed to preserve feel and precision when handling lines, controls and other sailing equipment.

The palm and thumb feature heavy-duty DURAPRO reinforcement for protection in the highest-wear areas. Amara-Tex synthetic suede combines with strategically positioned V-Grip print to increase traction and abrasion resistance, helping maintain a secure connection with larger-diameter ropes even when working under significant load.

A reinforced double-layer palm provides additional durability, while the single-layer fingertips retain sensitivity. This combination makes the gloves particularly useful for sailors who need more protection than a short-finger glove while still requiring accurate line control.

The Gen 2 design introduces a slightly extended wrist for improved coverage and a more secure fit. A low-profile adjustable cuff supports the wrist without restricting movement, while the seamless outer edge eliminates unnecessary side seams that can create rubbing or pressure points.

The breathable stretch back-hand fabric provides airflow and flexibility while incorporating UV50+ sun protection for long days on deck. A utility hang loop and stainless steel clip make the gloves easy to attach, dry and store between sessions.

The gloves are designed to fit firmly and snugly initially, with the stretch materials relaxing slightly through use and when wet. Vaikobi recommends sizing up if you are between sizes or unsure of your preferred fit.
