What is the difference between a wetsuit glove and a wetsuit swim glove?

What is the difference between a wetsuit glove and a wetsuit swim glove for wild or open water sea swimming?

A standard wetsuit glove is fine if you swim while wearing a long-sleeved full wetsuit. The long sleeves seal over the wrist, eliminating the cold water flush around the wetsuit glove. The C-Skins swim research glove is designed to eliminate cold water flush if you are swimming without a wetsuit. ( Please see the gap around the wrist in see the pictures below. )

 


The C-Skins swim research wetsuit glove is one of the only wetsuit gloves just designed for swimming. The extended wrist and tapered cuff seal are designed to keep water out even when not worn with a wetsuit.
