Ronstan M Black 3-Finger Sticky Race Sailing Gloves

The Ronstan M Black 3-Finger Sticky Race Gloves are built for sailors who fall in the middle of the size range who want hand protection without giving up fingertip feel on knots, shackles, and control lines. The medium version offers the same race-oriented construction in the center of the available size run. The open-finger layout keeps important fingertips free for fine work while covering the palm and primary rope-contact areas. By improving rope grip, the Sticky Race glove can reduce the amount of hand force needed during a long sequence of trims and eases.

Ronstan uses Amara synthetic leather for the grip surface and backs high-wear seams with double aramid stitching. Double-thickness material through the palm and fingers adds a second layer between the hand and loaded running rigging. Ventilated mesh sections keep the medium glove supple and help trapped moisture dry after use. The medium size keeps the protection centered on the palm without changing the glove's low-cut race profile.

• Three-finger race design preserves fingertip dexterity
• Double-thickness palm and finger protection
• Aramid stitching reinforces high-wear areas
• Mesh panels improve ventilation and drying

For the medium size, the goal is a close fit that keeps the palm reinforcement from sliding as the line moves. Give the medium pair a fresh-water rinse after sailing in salt and allow it to air-dry before packing it with other gear. Frequent trimmers should watch the palm and seam areas for wear before the protective layers are compromised. For more sailing gloves and everyday rigging accessories, browse more Sailing Hardware.
