Zone3 Yulex® Gloves

Zone3 Yulex® Gloves, made using Natural Rubber and great to wear for your numerous open water adventures. Replacing traditional neoprene with a natural plant-based rubber dramatically reduces the gloves carbon footprint. 

Zone3's Yulex® Gloves are designed for optimal fit and comfort thanks to a superb new ergonomic cut - they actually fit like gloves ! The low profile, glued and blind stitched seam construction, ensures a durable, sleek finish for supreme comfort helping to enhance the flexibility of the gloves, which is ideal when you're needing snug fitting gloves for warmth and protection. The long gauntlet wrist design, combined with the superb flexibility of the Yulex material, provides a superb contoured fit around the wrist to further enhance protection. These Zone3 Gloves also benefit from the addition of an 'o' ring/gasket wrist seal minimising, if not eliminating, water ingress all helping to encourage heat retention.  Although it's not necessary Zone3 have also added an elasticated, velcro, adjustable wrist strap - although once on the gloves aren't going anywhere - but it seems some folks like to use a wrist strap.  AND get this... you won't need a hammer and chisel to get these Zone3 Gloves on/off.

Ideal for numerous water sport activities the Zone3 Yulex® Gloves are made from incredibly flexible, 1.5mm thick (but feels more like 3mm) Yulex® Natural Rubber, double lined and protected with soft but durable recycled polyester fabrics. The superbly designed Gloves help provide thermal protection, an ergonomic fit and due to the flexible materials these Yulex® gloves from Zone3 offer superb freedom of movement.

Yulex® as a material has some incredible properties that are leaps ahead of other materials on the market. Yulex® - From the Tree, a plant based, high performance elastomeric foam with a closed-cell structure that ensures minimal water absorption and supportive buoyancy. The manufacturing process is made easier due to its diverse properties. Yulex® material is easy to cut, dye stamp, glue and sew; a bit like standard neoprene but better. As a more natural 'grown' product it is hugely beneficial over using standard neoprene for water-based activities.
