Gloves On/Off and Fit Tutorial

Our entire Solite glove line for Fall 2022-Winter 2023 has been redesigned for improved fit and flexibility along with unmatched grip, durability, and warmth. The Solite 2:2 Gauntlet Glove is designed for moderate air/water temps to extend your sessions with bare-handed feel and dexterity. The Gauntlet features all of the top-end features for grip, durability, and warmth but substitutes a thinner, quick-drying inner lining material for reduced bulk and improved feel of rails, bars, and paddles.

The 2:2 Gauntlet Features:

3D-Grip Palm

The 2:2 Gauntlet Glove now features a more flexible 3D Grip Palm with better stretch to fit more hand shapes. The 3D Grip is a sticky, rail-grabbing compound with full palm/finger coverage to repel water and keep the glove light for max dexterity. The 3D coating insures long-term durability and grip, while interlocking triangle print allows the palm/fingers to stretch and flex with minimal strain.

Hex-Shield Back Panel

Our exclusive Hex-Shield Back Panel combines the water-shedding warmth of a unlined panel with the enhanced durability of laminated neoprene. Many gloves feature raw “mesh skin” neoprene panels which shed water for lightweight and warmth, BUT these unlined panels rip very easily without a laminate for strength. Our Hex Shield offers the best of both worlds: a durable, nylon-lined exterior with a full-panel lamination of water-proof ink. The hex-pattern print insures max flexibility while still absorbing sunlight and repelling water. All this is done in a single panel, minimizing seams for enhanced comfort, flexibility, and durability.

Overkill Seams and EZ-O Cuff

To maximize lifespan, we’ve utilized the most durable seam construction available. Our Overkill Seams start with a glued/blind-stitched seam, with the seam on the outside for maximum comfort. The external stitching is then coated with a liquid seam seal, sealing the stitch holes and providing a durable, flexible barrier against water entry. Inside the gloves, all of the stress areas (between each finger and where the wrist joins the palm panel) feature internal taping for an even greater level of protection.

Just like our boots, our gloves integrate our EZ-O Cuff, which provides a seamless seal around the wrist but with a larger panel than all other gloves making the gloves easy on/off. Our EZ-O Cuff is also double laminated (inside and out) for max durability, whereas most other O-Ring cuffs feature a weaker non-lined interior.

Pre-Curved Fingers and Minimal Seams

The 2:2 Gauntlet has a pre-curved, anatomical shape out of the box, putting your hand and fingers in perfect paddling position without any strain on the hands/fingers. This shape reduces fatigue and allows longer, warmer, more comfortable sessions.

Flexibility, durability, and comfort is also optimized with minimal seam construction. Most gloves feature 4 or more neoprene panels, reducing flexibility, comfort, and providing more seams to leak. The 2:2 Gauntlet only has 3 panels: a single back panel, single palm panel, and EZ-O cuff panel. This simplified pattern results in incredible comfort, easy on/off, and versatile fit for a variety of hand shapes.
