ION Water Gloves Open Palm Mitten 2.5 – Warmth, Grip & Control

The ION Water Gloves Open Palm Mitten 2.5 are designed for riders who want maximum warmth without sacrificing control. By combining a mitt-style construction with an open palm design, these gloves deliver excellent thermal protection while keeping direct contact with your bar, boom, or paddle.

ION believes that even the smallest accessories can make or break a session. That’s why their Neo Accessories range is developed with the same precision and performance focus as their core products. When conditions are cold and demanding, the right gloves can be the difference between staying out longer or heading home early.

The open palm construction eliminates material between your hand and the grip point, giving you direct feedback, better control, and reduced fatigue, while the 2.5mm neoprene mitten design keeps your fingers warm by reducing heat loss. Ideal for kitesurfing, wingfoiling, windsurfing, SUP, and other cold-water sports.

If you want warmth, simplicity, and performance in cold sessions, the ION Open Palm Mitten is a proven solution.
