Oceania Gloves
OCEANIA GLOVES
With new thicker higher performance cuffs and a new watertight assembly on all models introduced in Spring/Summer 2025, the Oceania gloves offer exceptional thermal performance and durability.
WATERPROOF:
"Semi-dry" or "wet" mode. There are two points of entry for water into the Oceania Gloves: the cuff which has an extraordinary watertight seal on the wrist, and the coated fiber which has an extraordinary waterproofness but during long sessions of water sports a little moisture will let in. For sporting activities which are mainly carried out underwater, no matter how good the adhesion of the silicone on the wrist, water tends to enter through the cracks caused by the movements of the arm muscles. The duration of the hand's waterproofness is given by several factors: depth of dives, duration of dives, shape and muscles of the forearm. However, the process of perspiration of water is very slow. Once the water has entered, it tends to exit more quickly from the same entry route due to the compressive movements of the hand during the activity, the glove never fills with water and always remains adherent to the hand. The low water circulation creates excellent thermal insulation.
CUFFS: The silicone used to make the cuffs has extraordinary elasticity. It adapts to any forearm shape without excessive compression. It's truly comfortable. Caution: it's very soft, so protect it from sharp, abrasive objects (e.g., fingernails and watches).
GLOVES MODEL
ORCA: It is the only lined glove of the Oceania models and certainly the warmest. It is made of latex with a sandblasting on the palm that gives it an extraordinary grip. It has a nylon fiber with acrylic lining. It is very soft and can be used with an underglove.
The Orca is certainly an exceptional glove but it tends to wear out before the other models and this does not make it suitable for Diving and Surfing. But it is definitely a glove to buy for those who do Kite, Wing, Wind and Kayak at temperatures close to 0 degrees.
ORCA PLUS:The Plus version with the neoprene lining extends the glove's waterproofing duration and reduces wear.
DOLPHIN: It has a polyester fiber and a latex coating with a sandblasted latex coating on the palm. Its particular polyester weave and its particular latex make it the warmest glove of the unlined Oceania gloves, the one with the most grip and the softest. The underglove should not be used given its tight fit. It is certainly the best glove for the most demanding athletes who practice wingfoiling, windsurfing and kayaking.
DOLPHIN PLUS: Since the underglove cannot be used, the Plus version with the reduced neoprene lining increases the thermal insulation.
LEOPARD SHARK:It is certainly the most eclectic glove of the Oceania models. It is made of latex with a sandy latex coating on the palm that gives it an excellent grip. The fiber is polyester. It is a very thin and soft glove and below 8 degrees (approximately) you need the under glove. It is a glove that can be used for all activities. If you are undecided, start with this model together with the under glove.
LEOPARD SHARK PLUS: the Plus version with neoprene lining increases its thermal insulation and waterproofness.
RED FISH: It is made of nitrile with a sandy coating on the palm that gives it grip. The fiber is polyester. Nitrile is slightly more rigid than latex and the underglove can only be used if you have thin hands because the latex is less elastic. Below 8 degrees (approximately) you need the underglove. It is a glove suitable for sailing and canyoning, spearfishing but can also be used for board sports (even if the latex models are preferable).
RED FISH PLUS: the Plus version with neoprene lining increases its thermal insulation and waterproofness.

UNDERGLOVE
We offer two types of undergloves in our catalog. FLEXITOG FG400N which comes free with all models except the Dolphin, and the SIX2 which is slightly thinner, warmer, and provides a better grip, especially for hands with large fingers. The SIX2 also has shorter cuffs, making it a better fit for the Oceania Gloves.
