Zone3 Neoprene Gloves - Black/Grey

When swimming in open water, the temperature is often lower than in a pool, and even with a good wetsuit, your hands and feet can be vulnerable to the cold. This is where neoprene gloves and socks come in. They are designed specifically to provide warmth and protection without compromising your mobility or technique in the water.

Neoprene for hands and feet acts as a barrier against the cold water while retaining body heat close to the skin. Gloves often have an anatomical fit that allows good finger movement and grip in the water, while socks are shaped to fit flippers or bare feet – and can often also be used in combination with neoprene suits with integrated ankle closures.

If you’ve ever tried swimming in cold seawater without protection for your hands and feet, you know how quickly the cold can set in. It’s not just about comfort – it also affects performance and safety. When you lose sensation and mobility in your extremities, it becomes harder to swim efficiently and stay on course. With neoprene gloves and socks, you get insulation without compromising the feeling of contact with the water.

Especially for triathletes and open water swimmers who train and compete in cold months or early in the season, it is essential to be able to extend your time in the water. Neoprene equipment gives you just that flexibility so you don’t have to wait for the water to warm up. This opens up year-round training and more stable habits – and it makes the whole swimming experience much more enjoyable.

With us you will find neoprene hands and feet from ZONE3 – a brand known for developing equipment aimed at open water and triathlon. Their neoprene products combine functional design with high-quality materials that are built to last for both training and competition. The fit, seam placement and thickness are well thought out, so you get optimal warmth and comfort without losing touch with the water.

Whether you swim year-round or just want to extend your season by a few extra months, neoprene gloves and socks are an investment in both comfort and performance. They are a small addition to your equipment, but they make a huge difference when the temperature drops. Combined with a good wetsuit, neoprene hood and possibly a swimskin for warmer days, you have a complete solution for all conditions in open water.
