Crewsaver Short Finger Sailing Gloves Crewsaver 6950-S — Black, short-finger design

Crewsaver Short Finger Sailing Gloves Crewsaver 6950-S — Black, short-finger design are half-finger sailing gloves created for on-deck tasks where grip, protection and fingertip dexterity are required. The gloves combine a low-profile short-finger cut with materials that enhance contact with lines, winches and hardware while protecting the palm and back of the hand from abrasion and wet conditions. Their compact design keeps fingertips free for fine tasks while providing secure handling during routine sailing and boating operations.

Advantages

The short-finger design preserves tactile sensitivity for knot-tying, instrument operation and small fasteners while offering palm and knuckle protection against chafe and impact. A textured palm surface improves grip on wet and dry lines, reducing slippage during maneuvers. The low-profile construction and secure fit minimise bulk, allowing the gloves to be worn comfortably under foul-weather gear or when working at the cockpit. Materials are selected to balance grip, durability and quick drying for regular watersport use.

Suitable for

• Sailing deck work, including trimming sails and handling sheets
• General boating tasks such as mooring and line handling
• Watersports where fingertip control is needed (rigging, adjustments)
• Maintenance work requiring protection from abrasion while keeping dexterity

Key specifications

• Short-finger (half-finger) cut to expose fingertips for tactile tasks
• Black colour with low-profile design for minimal bulk
• Textured palm surface for improved grip on wet and dry lines
• Reinforced palm and high-wear areas for abrasion resistance
• Secure fit with adjustable closure for stability during maneuvers
• Quick-drying materials suitable for regular marine use

How to use

Put the gloves on before handling lines, winches or hardware on deck to protect the palm and back of the hand while preserving fingertip control. Adjust the closure to obtain a snug fit that prevents movement of the glove during trimming or heavy handling. Use the exposed fingertips for knot work, instrument controls and small adjustments; rely on the textured palm and reinforced areas for grip and abrasion protection. Rinse with fresh water after use in saltwater and allow to dry naturally away from direct heat.

Usage recommendations

Choose the correct glove size to maintain dexterity and prevent slippage; avoid soaking in detergents or using dryers to preserve material performance. Store dry and ventilated to reduce odour and material degradation. These gloves are intended for routine sailing and boating tasks and should be inspected regularly for wear in high-stress areas.
