About the Ti Alpha 3mm Five Finger Wetsuit Glove
Why we use Yamamoto Neoprene
Warmth with added dexterity.
Wetsuit gloves for those who dare to brave the cold, harsh elements of Mother Ocean.
You won’t find a wetsuit glove with better dexterity and warmth. The first neoprene glove made from 100% Titanium Coated Yamamoto #40. Keeps you warmer longer.
You won’t find a 3 mm wetsuit glove with better dexterity and warmth. The Isurus wetsuit glove is made from 100% Yamamoto #40 neoprene.
Ti Alpha wetsuit glove only absorbs 2% of its weight in water compared to 40-60% with competitor's neoprene gloves. You won't have to constantly take of the gloves to wring the cold-water out of them.
Cold water-logged water robs your body of heat 25x faster than air. No wasting precious body heat warming a cold water logged neoprene glove.
The neoprene glove is lined with Titanium to reflect heat back at your fingers and hands with no increase in thickness or weight. The insulation properties of the Titanium coating is like adding another 1-2 mm of neoprene to the glove. You can where these gloves 1-2 mm thinner than those made from conventional neoprene.
Yamamoto claims a 40% increase in temp rating with Yamamoto neoprene lined with Titanium. I’m not comfortable going that far, but we agree it is definitely a big increase.
Hey there, Jeff here from Halifax Paddle Surf.
Today, we're going to do a real simple review of something that's really important for all surfers and SUP surfers. Gloves.
This is the Isurus 3mm #40 Yamamoto glove. It is lined with the Ti-Alpha premium lining used on their 6.5 and 5.4 wetsuits. These are possibly the warmest three mil gloves I have ever tried. I would say that they are akin to a 5mm glove, but with the flexibility and movement of a 3mm.
They are fantastic - I can't say enough about these gloves, just absolutely brilliant.
With the glove turned inside-out, you can see the Ti-Alpha lining in yellow. These gloves feature a really solid double gusset system. I have ended sessions where my hands are still dry. They just lock out the water, keep my hands warm, especially in Nova Scotia winter paddling where the temperatures are in the mid-thirties if you're fahrenheit, low celcius - we're talking one degree, zero degree, minus five degree.
Again, just brilliant gloves - I can't recommend them highly enough.
Thanks, and we'll see you out on the water!

Testimony from the World Surf League Orthopedic Surgeon
Dr. Warren Kramer M.D.
World Surf League Orthopedic Surgeon
Newport Beach, CA, September 6, 2019
I've been fortunate enough to have used a lot of wetsuits. Beginning with the O'neill beavertail through the stiff fullsuits of the late 20th century, up to the present time. Many suits have their gimmicks: quick dry, neck gators, tight wrist and ankle cuffs, but they're still the same ill-fitting, moderately flexible suit.
Then a quantum leap occurred.
Isurus created a surgical glove
It's also exceptionally warm, with the flexibility in the shoulder and hips where it's needed.
As the Orthopedic Surgeon for the ASP/WSL for the last 25 years, I've seen a multitude of injuries from tight, poor fitting suits. The cut and stitch pattern is superb to allow exceptional flexibility through the shoulders. This decreases the risk of impingement syndrome and rotator cuff damage. The zipper less entry and exit is also very flexible around the shoulder which also decreases the risk of rotator cuff or labral damage.
I have also experienced myself the low back stiffness that occurs with a poorly fit wetsuit that allows low back chill. Even though the Shield is only a 2/2, the stitch and paneling is done to maximize fit with optimal warmth to the low back area.
Spend a little bit more on this fabulous suit rather than in my office with your shoulder pain. Buying quality never goes out of style. I rarely give testimonials, but I believe in Isurus wetsuits.
I don’t do surgery in garden gloves.
You shouldn’t surf in a suboptimal wetsuit
