Gloves Crewsaver Short Finger Black model 6950-XS — short-finger sailing gloves, XS

Crewsaver Short Finger Black gloves model 6950-XS are short-finger sailing gloves in size XS designed for on-deck tasks. The cut leaves fingertips exposed to preserve tactile sensitivity while the palm and back provide protection and improved grip when handling lines, winches and hardware. The low-profile black design fits under harnesses and allows for precise rope work, knotting and general marine maintenance.

Advantages

These sailing gloves combine fingertip freedom with palm protection to balance dexterity and safety. A textured grip surface enhances hold on wet or dry lines, and reinforced areas reduce wear from repeated use on winches and cleats. The short-finger design improves control for tasks requiring touch sensitivity, while the slim fit minimizes bulk and interference with other safety gear.

Suitable for

• Handling ropes and lines on sailboats
• Operating winches and deck hardware
• Knotting and precision rigging tasks
• General marine maintenance and short excursions

Key specifications

• Glove type: short-finger sailing gloves
• Size: XS (extra small)
• Color: black
• Construction: reinforced palm and high-wear areas for durability
• Fingertips: open/short-finger cut for tactile control
• Fit: slim, low-profile to work with harnesses and layers

How to use

Wear the gloves with the short-finger cut aligned so fingertips extend beyond the glove opening for natural touch. Use them for handling sheets, hoists and winch operations where grip and sensitivity are needed. Rinse with fresh water after exposure to salt and allow to air dry away from direct heat; inspect reinforced areas regularly for wear and replace when protection or grip is reduced.

Usage recommendations

Choose the XS size for a snug fit that preserves fingertip feel; pair the gloves with thicker protective gloves only when extra insulation or full coverage is required. For best grip on wet lines, keep the palm surface clean and free of oils or lotions.
