C-Skins Nuwave 3mm Gloves - Black
The C-Skins Nuwave 3mm Gloves are a natural rubber, GBS (glued and blindstitched) wetsuit glove built for warmth and grip on cold-water sessions.
The newest addition to C-Skins' Nuwave range, these gloves use a stretchy natural rubber outer paired with a recycled Xtend fabric backing, so they move with your hand rather than fighting it. A grippy Hype Palm and glued, blindstitched seams round out a glove built for surfing, SUP, kitesurfing and other cold-water sessions.
- Nuwave Natural Rubber - a stretchy 85% Hevea natural rubber / 15% chlorine-free synthetic rubber blend by polymer content, for flexibility without losing warmth.
- Recycled Xtend Natural Rubber backing - external 83% recycled nylon / 17% spandex, internal 100% recycled polyester, so the stretch panels use recycled fabric.
- Hype Palm with glued, blindstitched seams - a grippy palm and sealed seams to help keep cold water from flushing in through the stitching.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know which size to get?
These come in XS through X-Large. C-Skins publish a dedicated glove size chart - check it against your hand measurements, or ask the Board-Worx team if you're between sizes.
How warm and grippy are they?
The natural rubber build and GBS seams are designed to keep warmth in during cold-water sessions, while the Hype Palm gives a grippier hold on a paddle, bar or board rail than a plain neoprene palm.
How do I look after them?
Rinse in fresh water after every session and dry away from direct heat and sunlight, like any neoprene or natural rubber accessory - this protects the glued seams and keeps the rubber supple for longer.
What's it good for?
They suit surfing, SUP, kitesurfing and other cold-water watersports where you want warmth without losing feel or grip.
