Ion Claw Wetsuit Glove 3/2mm
The ION Claw 3/2 is a pre-curved neoprene glove for kitesurfers, windsurfers and wingers who want warm hands without fighting the glove to hold the bar.
The ION Claw Wetsuit Glove 3/2mm is built around one simple idea: a glove that's already shaped like your hand when it's gripping. ION designed it for cold conditions, and the pre-curved shape means your hands can rest relaxed on the bar, boom or paddle instead of working against flat neoprene all session.
- Pre-curved shape – the glove sits in a natural gripping position, so your hands and forearms aren't fighting the neoprene and tire less on long sessions.
- Wind protection – ION says the pre-curved design shields your hands from the wind, even when your fingers aren't pushed fully into the glove.
- Glued blind-stitched seams with Tatex Glue – seams are glued, part-stitched with a curved needle, then given an extra layer of Tatex Glue, so less water gets in. ION keeps this for its premium products.

FAQ
What size ION Claw glove do I need?
Measure around your knuckles (not including your thumb) and match it to the chart above. Neoprene gloves work best snug – a loose glove lets water flush through and makes grip harder.
How warm are the ION Claw 3/2 gloves?
ION designs the Claw for cold conditions, but doesn't publish a temperature rating. Everyone's hands feel the cold differently. If you want more warmth for the depths of winter, a thicker lobster mitt like the Mystic Supreme 4mm Lobster is worth a look.
Are they good for kitesurfing and windsurfing?
Yes – that's what they're designed for. The pre-curved shape lets your hands rest relaxed on the bar or boom, and ION also mentions paddling.
Why choose a pre-curved glove?
Flat gloves make your hands work against the neoprene every time you grip. A pre-curved glove is already in the gripping position, which helps reduce hand and forearm fatigue on longer sessions.
How do I look after them?
Rinse them in fresh water after every session and let them dry naturally, away from direct heat and strong sun. ION doesn't give specific care instructions for this glove, so follow the care label.
