Size chart
Sooruz gloves use S/M/L/XL sizing based on hand width. Measure across your palm at the widest point (just below your knuckles), with your hand flat.
| Size | Hand width (cm) |
|---|---|
| S (Small) | 7.5–8.5 cm |
| M (Medium) | 8.5–9.5 cm |
| L (Large) | 9.5–10.5 cm |
| XL (X-Large) | 10.5–11.5 cm |
If between sizes, size up for cold-water gloves (warmer with slight room) or size down for thin gloves (preserve dexterity). Sizes are guidelines — for exact dimensions check the brand product page. For sizing advice, call us on 01492 588001.
When to wear cold-water accessories
- Thin gloves (1.5mm) — UK water 14-18°C. Spring/autumn shoulder seasons; warm-water travel for dexterity.
- Open-palm mittens (2mm) — UK water 8-14°C. Better warmth than full-finger gloves while preserving palm-feel for paddle/rope/board grip.
- Standard gloves (3mm) — UK water 6-12°C. Full UK winter cold-water spec for surf/SUP/swim.
- Hood (2mm) — UK water below 12°C. Heat loss through the head is significant; a hood extends your cold-water session length dramatically.
- Beanie (2mm neoprene) — UK water 10-15°C, or open-water swim use where a hood is too restrictive. Maintains warmth without full head coverage.
- Thermo rash vest (under wetsuit) — adds an extra warmth layer under any wetsuit; also worn over the top in mid-summer for sun protection and chafe-prevention.
About Sooruz
Sooruz is a French watersports brand founded in 1999 in La Rochelle, building wetsuits and accessories designed by riders for riders. Innovation and environmental responsibility sit at the core — Sooruz pioneered Oysterprene® neoprene (made using recycled oyster shells and bio-based components), alongside recycled fabrics, water-based glues, and circular initiatives for used wetsuits.
Sooruz's cold-water accessory range (gloves, hoods, beanies, and thermo rash vests) is built around the same Storm Dry interior lining used in the flagship Guru wetsuits — the difference between a session you cut short and one you stay out for. Small kit, big impact.
Honest advice from us
The Guru Gloves are the standard UK winter glove — what you wear if you want your hands warm without losing too much paddle-feel. For shoulder seasons (12-18°C), step down to the Sooruz Thin Glove 1.5mm. For winter sessions where you need to keep grip on a paddle or rope but want more warmth than gloves, look at the Open Palm Mittens 2mm. Sizes S, L, XL in stock — Medium isn't currently available. 01492 588001 for sizing.
