Xcel 7mm Drylock Mitten Wetsuit Gloves

If the Drylock is the most sophisticated wetsuit glove on the market, the 7mm mitt version is surely the warmest.

If the Drylock is the most sophisticated wetsuit glove on the market, the 7mm mitt version is surely the warmest. Designed for low temperatures and severe winter conditions, these maximum-security gloves lock out icy cold water with an array of virtually impenetrable defences.

There’s plenty going on inside the gloves too. Vasodilation is the technical term for widening the blood vessels, which is how the Celliant Black lining, via infrared technology activated by movement, is able to generate additional heat. Celliant is the active ingredient, but it’s complemented by the heat-retention minerals that also feature in the textile, keeping your hands warmer for longer.
