Completely Redesigned for Optimal Comfort, Fit, and Flexibility
Recommended Water Temp: 50F/10C+
Sizing Guide:
NOTE: 2mm and 3mm Gloves are running TRUE TO SIZE based on the chart below. 5mm and 6mm run a little small, so size up if you are on the border between sizes.
Gloves On/Off and Fit Tutorial
Our entire Solite glove line for Fall 2022-Winter 2023 has been redesigned for improved fit and flexibility along with unmatched grip, durability, and warmth. The Solite 2:2 Gauntlet Glove is designed for moderate air/water temps to extend your sessions with bare-handed feel and dexterity. The Gauntlet features all of the top-end features for grip, durability, and warmth but substitutes a thinner, quick-drying inner lining material for reduced bulk and improved feel of rails, bars, and paddles.
The 2:2 Gauntlet Features:
3D-Grip Palm
The 2:2 Gauntlet Glove now features a more flexible 3D Grip Palm with better stretch to fit more hand shapes. The 3D Grip is a sticky, rail-grabbing compound with full palm/finger coverage to repel water and keep the glove light for max dexterity. The 3D coating insures long-term durability and grip, while interlocking triangle print allows the palm/fingers to stretch and flex with minimal strain.
Hex-Shield Back Panel
Our exclusiveHex-ShieldBack Panel combines the water-shedding warmth of a unlined panel with the enhanced durability of laminated neoprene. Many gloves feature raw "mesh skin" neoprene panels which shed water for lightweight and warmth, BUT these unlined panels rip very easily without a laminate for strength. OurHex Shieldoffers the best of both worlds: a durable, nylon-lined exterior with a full-panel lamination of water-proof ink. The hex-pattern print insures max flexibility while still absorbing sunlight and repelling water. All this is done in a single panel, minimizing seams for enhanced comfort, flexibility, and durability.
Overkill Seams and EZ-O Cuff
To maximize lifespan, we've utilized the most durable seam construction available. OurOverkill Seamsstart with a glued/blind-stitched seam, with the seam on the outside for maximum comfort. The external stitching is then coated with a liquid seam seal, sealing the stitch holes and providing a durable, flexible barrier against water entry. Inside the gloves, all of the stress areas (between each finger and where the wrist joins the palm panel) feature internal taping for an even greater level of protection.
Just like our boots, our gloves integrate ourEZ-O Cuff,which provides a seamless seal around the wrist but with a larger panel than all other gloves making the gloves easy on/off. OurEZ-O Cuffis also double laminated (inside and out) for max durability, whereas most other O-Ring cuffs feature a weaker non-lined interior.
Pre-Curved Fingers and Minimal Seams
The 2:2 Gauntlet has a pre-curved, anatomical shape out of the box, putting your hand and fingers in perfect paddling position without any strain on the hands/fingers. This shape reduces fatigue and allows longer, warmer, more comfortable sessions.
Flexibility, durability, and comfort is also optimized with minimal seam construction. Most gloves feature 4 or more neoprene panels, reducing flexibility, comfort, and providing more seams to leak. The 2:2 Gauntlet only has 3 panels: a single back panel, single palm panel, and EZ-O cuff panel. This simplified pattern results in incredible comfort, easy on/off, and versatile fit for a variety of hand shapes.
Well what can I say.....? All I did was buy a BangProof Bucket hat from Adam at Northern Water Sports (5 star review left previously about the hat and about the overall experience buying from NWS) that led me to wanting to buy more kit. I decided that the service provided previously and the knowledge given on the kit (unbiased opinion) was the reason I purchased my new F-One Rocket V4. My new Rocket was the last one available from F-One and Adam made the call in order to secure it and get it on the courier service that afternoon. Great service, knowledge and helpfulness without any pressure. Now what about those new F-One V5 Swings😮
Very impressed with my new 1060 which has become my go to front wing for most conditions.
Having progressed within the Sabfoil range from W1100 to begin with, then to W945 allrounder; I treated myself to the 1060 which I have found to be faster, more manoeuvrable, with a fabulous glide.
Its great fun in the waves off West Kirby and New Brighton.
Bangproof 💥 Bucket hat helmet
Firstly I would like to say what a fantastic experience dealing with Northern Water Sports. 10/10…
Adam at NWS being the sole supplier of BangProof hat helmets meant that I had the pleasure of dealing with him and obtaining my new bucket hat helmet. I wanted to replace my Mystic Vandal helmet with something more stylish, more comfortable and have full protection as equal to my Mystic helmet or if not better. Bangproof provided this in all aspects and I can’t fault it. Beautiful design ordered in the Khaky colour way providing full protection from impact or bright sunlight whilst looking as cool as on and off the waves. The comfort and fit are equally as impressive, but out of the box you might not think so? Make sure you read the blurb before shoving it on your head otherwise you might think you’ve bought the wrong size. Basically leave you new BangProof to acclimatise and become more supple (I left mine in the sunshine for a bit) and then popped it on my head. Once on I moulded it to my head shape and that’s where it has formed. Now it fits like a glove and doesn’t wobble about like my old Mystic and the best part is the kids say it looks “slay” so I’ll take that even though I had to ask what it meant? Apparently It’s a good thing trust me….What a great product and one you should be looking at purchasing as there is a Cap or Bucket style and looking good on the water is one thing, but staying safe is what it’s all about. Bangproof and Northern Water Sports allow you to do both. Summer is here so get your Bucket or Cap BangProof helmet and shred hard knowing that you’re fully protected from the sun and hard knocks.

Great helmet upgrade on my gath. Firstly looks so much cooler, but is more comfortable and the brim shadows you from the sun. Great no nonsense service from NK
First thing the service from northern water sports is second to none great prompt communication and managed to get a the bangproof bucket hat to me in time for a trip away 👍👍
Second the bangproof bucket hat is a well made comfortable helmet and having a xl head and finding it difficult to find a helmet that actually fits with out pressure points has been impossible until now 👍👍 I would highly recommend seller and product and wish both huge success !!

I purchased a pair of neoprene car seat covers to replace old ones and wasn’t disappointed. Good quality, easy to fit and ideal for providing protection of the seats. The anti slip backing is a gem and the fit is excellent. The process from point of order to delivery was very good although the system did generate follow up emails when left in basket. This was explained to me when making telephone contact with polite and friendly staff. Thank you.
Bought the badger to progress my riding (had a north cross prior) and noticed a massive difference on first time out, super responsive, fast turns and can charge down the line!!! Highly recommend!!! Top advice and assistance from Northern Watersports to help me choose this board!!!!
