Does the use of a preformed cut make it easier to put on and take off the glove?
Imran Hanafiah –
Yes, the preformed cut in Mares Smooth Skin Gloves makes it easier to put on and take off the glove. The cut is designed to fit perfectly around your hand, so it slides on and off smoothly. This feature is especially helpful when taking the gloves off over a wetsuit, decreasing the risk of snagging the suits materials. (product_id: 6055)

Is the outer covering part of the glove made from a waterproof material?

Thank you for your question about the Mares Smooth Skin Gloves. According to the product description, the external layer is covered but it doesn’t explicitly mention that it’s waterproof. I can suggest contacting our customer service for more detailed information. If you could provide more information or context, I’d be happy to help further.

Great gloves, but one minor complaint – the stitching on one of the fingers started to come undone after a few weeks of use.
