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

The Vaikobi V-Grip Pro Gloves Short Finger Gen 2 are high-performance sailing gloves designed for sailors handling larger-diameter lines and higher loads. Combining V-Grip traction, DURAPRO palm and thumb reinforcement, breathable UV50+ stretch fabric and a dexterity-focused short-finger design, they provide strong grip, durability and precise line control without unnecessary bulk.

The Gen 2 V-Grip Pro Gloves are built for demanding sailing where rope loads and abrasion put additional stress on the hands. The reinforced construction provides the durability needed for high-load trimming and line handling while maintaining the finger sensitivity required for precise work.

The short-finger design leaves the fingertips exposed, improving feel and dexterity when handling lines, controls and other equipment. Double-layer protection across the palm provides additional abrasion resistance, while the single-layer fingertips retain flexibility and tactile feedback.

Strategically positioned V-Grip print and Amara-Tex suede work together to provide reliable traction across the palm and high-wear areas. DURAPRO reinforcement across the palm and thumb adds another layer of protection where repeated line handling can cause significant wear.

The Gen 2 design features a slightly extended wrist for a more secure and comfortable fit, along with a smooth neoprene and Velcro closure that keeps the wrist area low profile. A seamless outer edge eliminates a side seam, reducing bulk and pressure points during extended use.

The back of the glove uses breathable UV50+ stretch fabric for ventilation, flexibility and additional sun protection. A stainless steel clip and utility hang loop make it easy to dry or attach the gloves to a sailing bag or belt loop between sessions.

The gloves are designed to fit snugly initially, with the materials relaxing slightly through wear and when wet. If you are between sizes, Vaikobi recommends sizing up for the best fit and performance.
