I love these gloves…. But
"Hi, I have worn Zone 3 Heat tech gloves for winter sea swimming for 5 years now and wouldn’t want to wear anything else. They are a great addition to my swimming kit. They fit snug and seal well at the wrists and usually keep me toasty warm. I take great good care of my kit and always handle it carefully and wash it well after each use. However, I need to let you know that the seam finish on the gloves this year is poor. My new gloves already have holes between the fingers after wearing only twice. The rubber seal is poor and the seam stitching is poor. I am gentle trying to put them on and take them off but this year’s two pairs are not standing up to general use. They are already letting in water, which is most unpleasant and my hands are getting cold quickly - I can usually rely on on these premium gloves to keep me warm all winter. Previous pairs have lasted 2-3years before needing repairs. These were letting in water after wearing only twice and will need to be repaired now after only one month of wear."

Neoprene Heat-Tech Warmth Swim Gloves
"Fits well and are very comfortable. Not worn in open sea until temperatures dips over the next few weeks, but have tested them in an unheated pool and they kept my hands nice and warm."

Stay warm, but fall apart easily
"Wore these a couple of times in February, then in April a few times. Put them away for the summer, put them on and they are coming apart at the seams between the fingers and around the wrist, and let in all the cold water. Have been kept away from heat and rinsed and air-dried thoroughly after each each use, but have fallen apart at under 10 uses. Before falling apart, they did keep my hands very warm. Would not recommend due to their short shelf-life."

Just had my first dip
"Just had my first dip in my new Neoprene Heat-Tech Warmth Swim suit and I’m grinning ear to ear! The water was chilly but I stayed toasty the whole time—felt like a cosy hug while I splashed around. It’s super comfy and let me move easily, so I could just enjoy the swim without fuss. Can’t wait to get back out there again tomorrow!"

Good gloves!
"I’ve some serious Raynoud so my fingers are hard to keep warm. Even these gloves don’t manage to do that completely, but better then others. After 2,5km my fingers are pretty cold. But not so much that it is painful. So pretty happy with them. Had some great support in picking the right size. Zone3 support is awesome. They are a bit hard to get off after a swim, but that is a small price to pay for comfortable fingers."

Dry warm gloves, the water
"Dry warm gloves, the water enters after some time and it enters the gloves don’t slip. I purchased them in order to race at Celtman xtri which the water temperature is below 10 Celsius degrees Overall it’s an excellent pair of gloves which help you withstand the extremities and the cold em water. I totally recommend them."

As with the heat tec
"As with the heat tec socks used these on a 2 mile open water swim in cold sea water. Never felt the cold and due to the fit of these gloves they never moved or took on loads of water like other gloves I’ve tried. Totally worth the investment."
