Description
The Xcel Men's Drylock Texture Skin 5mm Three Finger Gloves are designed for cold-water surfing, combining mitten-style insulation with more independent finger movement. Their lobster-claw construction separates the thumb and divides the remaining fingers into two sections, offering a balance of warmth and control when paddling, gripping your board and handling surf equipment.
A wind-resistant exterior helps reduce exposure to cold air, while sealed seams and Drylock wrist cuffs help limit water entry. The textured palm provides additional grip, and the ergonomic shape supports a close fit.
Available in black, these 5mm wetsuit gloves are a practical alternative to traditional five-finger surf gloves or thicker cold-water mittens.

Xcel Drylock 5mm Lobster-Claw Gloves for Cold-Water Surfing
The Xcel Drylock Texture Skin 5mm Three Finger Gloves provide an alternative to conventional five-finger surf gloves. Their lobster-claw design separates the thumb and divides the remaining fingers into two sections, helping retain warmth while allowing more independent movement than a full mitten.
Three-Finger vs. Five-Finger Wetsuit Gloves
Three-finger gloves are popular with cold-water surfers who want some of the insulation advantages of mittens without grouping all four fingers together. For individual finger movement, compare these gloves with the Xcel Drylock 5mm Five Finger Gloves. Both styles use 5mm construction but offer different levels of finger separation.
When to Consider Thicker Surf Mittens
For especially cold conditions, thicker mittens may offer additional insulation at the expense of finger dexterity. The Xcel Drylock 7mm Texture Skin Mittens are worth comparing if keeping your hands warm is your main priority. You can also browse Seaside's wetsuit gloves and surf mittens to compare additional thicknesses and designs.
Drylock Cuffs, Fit and Cold-Water Gear
Drylock wrist cuffs help limit water flushing, while the wind-resistant exterior and sealed seams provide additional protection in colder conditions. A properly fitted glove should feel snug without restricting circulation or causing discomfort.
For a more complete cold-water setup, pair your three-finger gloves with insulated wetsuit boots and surf booties. Choosing suitable hand and foot protection can make a noticeable difference during longer winter sessions.
