Benjamin Tan –
These gloves fit my large hands very well and kept them warm during a recent dive in Tioman. Good grip on my camera equipment too. Only took a bit of time to get the gloves on at first due to the snug fit.
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your feedback, Mr. Tan. We’re glad the gloves provided warmth and grip, and your note about the initial fit is appreciated—we recommend putting them on over slightly damp hands for easier donning.
Siti Rahman –
Is the wrist closure secure enough to keep sand out when diving near the seabed? I dive mainly around Pulau Hantu, so this is important for me.

Hi Ms. Rahman, the adjustable wrist closure is designed to give a snug seal, which helps to keep out sand and debris. For best results, ensure the closure is firmly fastened before entering the water.
Priya Chandran –
The gloves are comfortable and I appreciate the thick neoprene for cold water, but after a few dives, I noticed some stitching coming loose on one finger.
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for sharing your experience, Ms. Chandran. We’re sorry to hear about the stitching and recommend bringing the gloves back for a closer inspection or possible exchange under our warranty policy.
