Glove Crewsaver Short Finger Black model 6950-J5 — short-finger sailing/work glove

The Crewsaver Short Finger Black model 6950-J5 is a short-finger sailing and utility glove designed to combine fingertip sensitivity with basic hand protection. Constructed for tasks that require tactile control and secure grip, this short-finger glove leaves the tips of the fingers exposed to improve feel for ropes, lines and small fittings while covering the palm and back of the hand to protect against abrasion and wet conditions.

Advantages

This short-finger Crewsaver glove offers enhanced dexterity and direct fingertip contact for precise handling. The glove provides a non-restrictive fit that supports quick and repeated movements, while the palm and inner surfaces are engineered for improved grip on wet and dry lines. The open fingertip design reduces bulk at the tips, allowing more accurate manipulation of knots, shackles and small tools without removing the glove.

Suitable for

• Sailing and deck work where rope handling and knot tying are frequent
• Watersports activities that require tactile control and grip
• Outdoor maintenance and utility tasks needing fingertip sensitivity
• Installation or handling of small fittings and fasteners in damp environments

Key specifications

• Glove type: short-finger (fingertips exposed)
• Primary use: sailing and general utility
• Colour: black
• Construction: palm and back coverage with exposed fingertips for tactile control
• Grip: textured or treated inner surfaces to improve handling of wet and dry lines
• Protection level: basic abrasion resistance and hand coverage, not designed as impact or cut-resistant PPE
• Fit: close-fitting design to maintain dexterity and tactile feedback

How to use

Select the appropriate size to ensure a snug fit that keeps the glove secure while allowing free movement of the fingers. Use the glove for handling ropes, lines, small fittings and tools where fingertip feeling is needed; the exposed fingertips allow you to perform tasks such as knot tying, splicing and operating small fasteners with greater precision. After use in saltwater environments, rinse with fresh water and allow to air dry away from direct heat to maintain material condition and grip performance.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, replace the glove if the palm or grip surfaces show excessive wear or if seams begin to fail. Do not use this glove as protection against high-impact hazards, sharp blades, chemicals or extreme temperatures. Pairing these short-finger gloves with full-finger gloves for heavier tasks provides additional protection when needed.
