ION Water

ION Lobster Mitten 4/3mm

Description

ION Lobster Mitten 4/3 are warm neoprene mittens with a hybrid design that give you the best of both worlds: the warmth of a mitten and the finger sensitivity of a five-finger glove. The last three fingers share a compartment, retaining significantly more heat than a regular glove, while the index finger is separate, so you can still handle gear, adjust straps, and grip the boom, bar, or paddle. This makes them the obvious choice for winter swimming, kitesurf, windsurf, and other watersports in cold water.

The 4/3 mm thickness is strategically placed: 4 mm neoprene on the back of the hand protects against wind and cold, while the thinner 3 mm neoprene in the palm gives you maximum grip and a direct feel for your gear. The inside is lined with E6 Flash Lining and Plasma Plush 2.0, which feel comfortable against your skin, dry quickly, and retain heat. The seams are glued and blind-stitched using Fluid Seam Weld technology, making the gloves more watertight and significantly reducing water penetration.

  • Lobster design: Three fingers are held together for optimal warmth, while a separate index finger preserves finger sensitivity for controlling your equipment.
  • 4/3 mm Ultraflex Neoprene: Thicker neoprene on the back of the hand for protection from cold and wind, thinner in the palm for the best possible grip and feel.
  • E6 Flash Lining and Plasma Plush 2.0: Soft, quick-drying lining that keeps your hands warm and comfortable throughout your session.
  • Fluid Seam Weld: Glued, blind-stitched seams that minimize water penetration and make the suit more durable.
  • Non-slip palm: Pre-shaped construction and non-slip palm material ensure a firm grip on bars, booms or paddles.
  • Ergonomic fit: Pre-curved shape that follows your hand’s natural position and reduces fatigue on long sessions in the water.

  • Care & Maintenance

    Care for your ION Lobster Mitten 4/3

    Rinse the gloves thoroughly in cold fresh water after each use to remove salt, chlorine, and sweat, which can break down the neoprene over time. When needed, hand-wash them in lukewarm water with a little mild soap or a specific neoprene cleaner - avoid the washing machine, bleach, and fabric softener, as these can damage the material and the glue in the seams.

    Let the gloves air-dry, hanging or lying flat in a well-ventilated place, preferably with the fingers pointing up so the water can drain out. Never use a tumble dryer, radiator, or hair dryer, and don't leave them in direct sunlight for long periods, as heat and UV light can make the neoprene brittle and dry it out.

    Make sure the gloves are completely dry before storing them. Then store them flat or loosely folded in a cool, dry place - not crumpled up in a wet bag or in the trunk, where heat and moisture can cause permanent creases and bad odors.

  • FAQ

    What does 4/3 mm mean for neoprene mittens?

    It indicates the neoprene thickness: 4 mm on the back of the hand, where you need the most warmth, and 3 mm in the palm, where you need flexibility and a direct grip on your gear.

    Why do the mittens have a lobster design?

    The lobster shape keeps three fingers together in one compartment so they warm each other, while the index finger is separate. This provides significantly more warmth than a five-finger glove without compromising finger sensitivity.

    Are the ION Lobster Mitten 4/3 suitable for winter swimming?

    Yes, they’re designed for cold water temperatures of around 5-10 °C, so they’re used for winter swimming, kitesurf, windsurf, and surfing during the colder half of the year.

    Can I still control my gear while wearing the mittens?

    Yes. The separate index finger and thinner, non-slip palm give you enough precision to hold a bar, boom, or paddle, and adjust zippers and straps without taking off your mittens.

    Are the mittens waterproof?

    The seams are glued and blind-stitched with Fluid Seam Weld, which significantly minimizes water penetration. However, the mitten is a neoprene product designed to get wet - its purpose is to keep your hands warm while the water around them is cold.

    How do I care for my neoprene mittens?

    Rinse them in cold fresh water after each use, let them air-dry away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and store them flat once completely dry. Avoid washing machines, tumble dryers, and bleach.

    Do the mittens come in multiple sizes?

    Yes, the ION Lobster Mitten 4/3 is available in a wide range of sizes from XS to XL, so you can find a snug fit, which is essential for both warmth and grip.
