Ronstan S Black 3-Finger Sticky Race Sailing Gloves

The Ronstan S Black 3-Finger Sticky Race Gloves are built for sailors who need a close, low-bulk fit who want hand protection without giving up fingertip feel on knots, shackles, and control lines. The small version keeps the glove close to the hand without adding unnecessary bulk around knots and fittings. Leaving three fingertips open preserves direct feel for knots and small fittings while the rest of the hand remains covered. The Sticky Race design takes some of the strain out of holding rope by giving the hand a more secure gripping surface during repeated trimming.

Amara synthetic leather provides the main wear surface, with double aramid stitching reinforcing areas that are repeatedly flexed and loaded. A doubled palm and finger layer adds protection where sheets and control lines usually press hardest against the glove. Mesh inserts keep the small-size glove flexible and improve airflow so it dries more readily after wet sailing. Its close fit helps the doubled palm stay where it belongs while the hand opens and closes around loaded line.

• 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

A correct small-size fit should stay put while trimming without pinching when the hand closes around a sheet. After a salty session, rinse the small gloves thoroughly and dry them before storage rather than leaving salt in the synthetic leather. Check the reinforced palm and stitched joints as part of normal gear maintenance if the gloves are used every weekend.
