Ronstan Sticky Race Gloves - Black - S

The Ronstan Sticky Race Gloves in black, size small, are purpose-built for sailors and powerboat operators who demand reliable grip and protection in wet, dynamic conditions. Whether you're racing, cruising, or managing lines in challenging weather, these gloves keep your hands secure on the wheel, rigging, and equipment when moisture and motion threaten control. Designed by Ronstan—a trusted name in marine hardware—they combine functionality with durability for serious water users.

Construction centers on synthetic leather that resists stretch and shrinkage, ensuring a consistent fit across seasons and repeated use. Double thickness in the palm and fingers delivers both tactile feedback and impact protection, critical when handling standing rigging or working with hardware under load. Double aramid stitching reinforces high-wear zones—cuff, joints, and grip surfaces—preventing premature failure where ordinary thread would fray. The sticky texture in the palm and fingers maintains purchase even when wet, a non-negotiable feature for anyone managing lines or steering in spray and rain.

Sailors engaged in competitive racing, cruising, or commercial charter work will find these gloves indispensable for extended helm time and deck work. The small size suits narrower hands or lighter-framed operators; proper fit is essential to prevent slippage and maximize the grip advantage the sticky palm provides. These gloves complement any modern marine setup—from racing dinghies to larger cruising vessels—and work equally well in warm-weather sailing or cool-season boating when layered under heavier gear.
