Choosing a Sailing Glove:
The two main design components of sailing gloves are their function and the seasons during which they will be worn. All purpose sailing gloves vary by the durability and gripping power of the palm material. Depending upon how often you sail and what your role on the boat is will determine what you need. Whether you choose Cut Finger Sailing Gloves or Three Finger Sailing Gloves is a matter of personal preference.

Choosing Sailing Shoes and Sailing Boots:
Your choice of sailing footwear can make a huge difference to your comfort and performance when sailing. The right sailing footwear gives you stability in and around your boat and can contribute to your warmth in cooler weather. When selecting quick draining, fast-drying sailing shoes, remember that wearing cotton socks with those sailing shoes prevents fast drying. Hiking boots should have good padding across the top of the foot, while Trapeze boots should have specially designed soles for gripping the edge of the deck.
