Gill Deckhand Junior gloves

Equip the next generation of sailors with the confidence and protection they need with the GILL Deckhand Junior Gloves. Specifically engineered for younger hands, these full-finger gloves are the perfect accessory for any junior mariner, suitable for both boys and girls engaging in sailing, dinghy racing, and general on-deck navigation. They provide an essential barrier against the elements and the rigours of boating, ensuring small hands stay protected, comfortable, and ready for action. Whether they are pulling ropes or gripping the tiller, these gloves offer the dexterity and durability required for peak performance.

The design focuses on delivering a professional level of performance in a junior size. A key challenge on the water is staying comfortable when wet, and these gloves tackle that head-on. The palm reinforcement is crafted from a material that not only provides exceptional durability against friction but also refuses to absorb water. This means the gloves dry incredibly quickly, remaining lightweight and preventing that cold, waterlogged feeling that can cut a day on the water short. Sun protection is also paramount, which is why the back of the glove is constructed from a 4-way stretch fabric that boasts a UV 50+ rating, shielding sensitive skin from harmful solar radiation while offering a water-repellent finish to fend off spray.

Comfort and dexterity are at the core of the GILL Deckhand Junior gloves´ design. GILL´s meticulous construction is evident in every stitch, with a pre-shaped form that mimics the natural curve of the hand, reducing fatigue and making for an intuitive fit right out of the package. To enhance feel and eliminate irritation, the gloves feature seamless fingertips, which also improve durability. Furthermore, offset finger seams and a wraparound palm design cleverly remove pressure points and uncomfortable side seams, delivering a smooth, complete wear-protection system that young sailors will appreciate during long hours of use. Getting the gloves on and off is made simple with a reduced cuff length to avoid bulk, an easy-to-grab silicone grip, and a rear adjustment for a secure, customized fit that still allows for maximum wrist flexibility.
