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

Designed for sailors working with larger-diameter lines and higher loads, the Vaikobi V-Grip Pro Gloves, Short Finger - Gen 2 deliver serious grip, durability and precision without unnecessary bulk. Developed and tested in Australia, they are built for high-load trimming and tough deck conditions where gloves are pushed hard session after session.

Advanced DURAPRO reinforcements on the palm and thumb protect critical high-wear zones, extending glove life during repeated heavy trimming. V-Grip traction zones work alongside durable Amara-Tex synthetic suede to provide strong, reliable grip and excellent abrasion resistance, helping maintain control when lines are loaded and conditions are demanding.

The short-finger cut prioritises dexterity and feel, keeping fingertips exposed for precise line handling while reinforcing the palm for strength and protection. Double-layer construction in high-wear areas improves durability, while single-layer fingertip zones preserve sensitivity and feedback during fast-paced trimming.

The Gen 2 update introduces a slightly extended wrist length for a more secure and comfortable fit, paired with a low-profile adjustable closure that stays out of the way during active sailing. A breathable stretch back-hand fabric enhances airflow and flexibility, with built-in UV50+ sun protection for long days on deck. Seamless outer-edge construction removes side seams to reduce bulk and pressure points, while a utility hang loop with stainless steel clip makes drying and storage simple.

Built for sailors who need heavy-duty performance with fingertip control, the Vaikobi V-Grip Pro Gloves, Short Finger - Gen 2 offer dependable grip, comfort and durability when loads increase and conditions get serious.
