What the AI looks for in Waterskiing Gloves
- Palm material
- Synthetic suede or Amara-type palm that grips when wet Grip on a wet handle is the whole point of the glove, and some palms turn slick when wet.
- Pre-curved fingers
- Fingers shaped to curl around a handle They reduce forearm fatigue and hand cramping on long sets.
- Fit
- Snug when dry, because gloves stretch when wet A loose wet glove slides on the hand and costs grip.
- Wrist closure
- Adjustable hook-and-loop wrist strap It keeps the glove from slipping off in a fall.
Brands that matter
- Connelly: Recreational and ski-specific gloves.
- HO Sports: Waterski gloves from a major ski brand.
- Radar: Gloves aimed at slalom skiers.
- O'Brien: Recreational watersports gloves.
What to avoid
- General work or bike gloves that turn slick when wet
- Gloves sized loose
- Seams across the palm where the handle sits
