Short-fingered sailing gloves

In the short-fingered sailing gloves product group, you will find the Harken Reflex short-fingered sailing glove in a comprehensive range of sizes from S to XXL and in size XS. Short-fingered gloves expose the fingertips, which maintains sensitivity when handling the rope while protecting the palm from abrasion.

When are short-fingered gloves a better choice than long-fingered ones?

Short-fingered gloves are the most popular choice in warm weather and for active rope handling, as the exposed fingertips allow for a precise grip on knots, carabiners and small parts, which is more difficult to do with long-fingered gloves. The Harken Reflex model has a reinforced palm with abrasion-resistant material in the areas where the rope rubs the most when pulling or trimming, which extends the life of the glove and protects the hand from blisters on long sailing trips. The Velcro closure at the wrist keeps the glove firmly in place even in wet conditions. Choosing the right size is important - a glove that is too loose will reduce grip, while a glove that is too tight will restrict movement and can chafe. If you often sail in colder weather or during the winter, you may want to consider a long-fingered model, which will better protect the entire hand from drafts and cold water.

The material of Harken Reflex gloves is typically a combination of synthetic leather on the palm and stretchy fabric on the back of the fingers, which gives a good feel for the rope without losing mobility. The lifespan of the gloves depends largely on the frequency of use and the roughness of the rope being handled - a racing sailor who handles rope daily will wear out the gloves faster than an occasional weekend sailor.

It is worth checking the Velcro fastening of your gloves regularly, as the adhesive can collect salt and dirt over time, which reduces its grip - cleaning with a brush will most often restore the adhesive's effectiveness. Harken is one of the most well-known sailing equipment brands, and their gloves are designed to withstand both UV radiation and constant moisture.

It is a good idea to rinse sailing gloves with fresh water after each use to prevent salt from hardening the material and shortening the life of the gloves.

The right size of sailing gloves has a significant impact on your hand's performance when handling ropes - a glove that is too tight will tire your hand faster, while one that is too loose will reduce your accuracy. Harken offers a range of sizes to accommodate both narrow and wide hands, and it's always a good idea to check the size chart before ordering.

The Reflex collection is designed specifically for active, daily use, so it is well suited for both recreational sailors and racing sailors who are on the water more often.
