The O'Neill Psycho Tech 1.5mm Surf Gloves keep your hands warm and functional in cool water — ultra-thin performance gloves built on TechnoButter neoprene for the dexterity you need to paddle and pop up without losing sensitivity through thick rubber. Key Features: TechnoButter 3 Neoprene — O'Neill's premium stretch neoprene gives these gloves the same flexible feel as the HyperFreak wetsuit line; fingers move naturally through paddle strokes without resistance 1.5mm Thickness — calibrated for water temperatures in the 60–68°F range; thin enough to maintain hand sensitivity on the rail while blocking wind and water chill Glued and Blindstitched Seams — fully sealed seam construction prevents cold-water entry at stitch lines; at 1.5mm, seam flushing is the primary source of cold hands Five-Finger Design — individual fingers maintain full dexterity for leash attachment, board handling, and rail work Snug Wrist Seal — close-fitting wrist cuff tucks under a wetsuit sleeve to block water channeling up the arm during duck dives Hand dexterity is everything in surfing — the moment you lose feel in your fingers, your paddle becomes less efficient and your rail sense disappears. At 1.5mm, the Psycho Tech gloves give you heat protection without the clunky disconnected feeling of thicker gloves. They're the right call when your 3/2 wetsuit is keeping the rest of you warm but your hands are getting numb after 30 minutes in the water. Sizing & Fit: Order based on hand circumference at the knuckles. Gloves should fit snug without bunching between the fingers. If between sizes, size up for comfort during extended sessions. Care: Rinse thoroughly with fresh water inside and out after every session. Turn inside out to dry. Do not tumble dry.
