Excellent general purpose gloves suitable for sailing that most people don't even know exist.
Showa Gloves were originally designed to be used in the building industry but as the company grew they begin making gloves for many different industries.
We stock gloves that are are designed for grip, warmth and even some that are waterproof.
The range from Showa are among the most popular gloves we stock. They have great flexibility and durability whilst having options such as thermal lining for extra warmth on a colder day on the water.
If you look closely at photos of professional sailors in the British Sailing Team you'll notice that many of them in high performance classes such as the 49er and Nacra 17 wear Showa gloves. This is because of 3 key reasons:
Price - These glove are a very competitive price compared to may other sailing gloves that won't last as long. The 451 Gloves are £5.99 a pair (at the time of this article) where as other gloves from Gill and Zhik are between £40 and £50.
Durability - Don't think that they have cut corners with durability due to the lower price. These gloves will outlast almost all other sailing gloves. Whether you are sailing a Topper or trimming the kite on an 18 foot skiff these will hold up well to anything. Andrew our founder swears by these gloves and uses them when he is crewing on his Tornado catamaran.
Grip - Whilst being durable they are extremely abrasion resistant. The seamless latex coating is bonded to the glove so no need to worry about them wearing away and sticking to each other.

Good quality fitted well, length good
Great service
Fast delivery - exactly as per order - many thanks
Nice smooth finish and easy to splice
This is not only comfortable but really roomy. The internal pocket is just right for my laptop and the straps mean that some items can be clipped on the outside. I’ll be using this for years to come!!
Great, exactly what I wanted they seem high quality and dont rust.
Such an easy website to use and the team are great. Fast arrival and brilliant condition. Definitely my go-to for all my sailing needs
Super value for money and delivered super quickly too. We were back on the water racing within no time
It’s really good you can get a spare for this because often you only lose this bit! It’s a much cheaper option and comes quickly.
The wheels were easily fitted to my laser launching trolley using existing washers and retaining clips.
Have been used only a couple of times so far but run smoothly and seem to do the
job fine.
Really pleased with the cover fits perfectly. I knew when it would arrive the company kept me up to date with the process
Good service, no complaints.
Very good tool to get those very tight knots undone
I've tried a number of different types and makes of neoprene boots for Sea Kayaking and these are the best (most comfortable) fit and easiest to get on/off to of all that I have tried, Really pleased with them. The sole is not as thick as it would appear from the photos but seem to be perfectly good for the usual limited shore walking.
Fine just as expected
