The Sooruz Thin Glove 1.5mm is the shoulder-season pick — thin enough to preserve paddle-feel and finger dexterity, just warm enough to take the bite out of spring and autumn UK water. For UK summer surfers who want a bit of protection in early-season sessions, or for warm-water travel where the air's cool but the water isn't.

Key features

• 1.5mm Limestone neoprene — minimal-bulk thickness for maximum dexterity
• Preserves paddle-grip and finger feel — you can still operate buckles, zips, and grip a paddle precisely
• Flat-stitched seams — minimal bulk against the skin
• Easy entry — no zip, just pull on

Specification

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.

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 Thin Glove is for paddlers who want some protection without bulk. If you're surfing or SUPing UK winter (water below 12°C), step up to the Sooruz 3mm Guru Gloves instead — these 1.5mm won't keep your hands warm enough for winter sessions. Single S variant in stock — for L/XL sizes, check the Guru 3mm Gloves (Product 4). 01492 588001 for sizing.
