Burke Leather Sailing Gloves – Marine-Grade Leather Yacht Gloves

The Burke Leather Sailing Gloves are durable, comfortable sailing gloves designed to provide dependable grip and hand protection when handling sheets, halyards and other running rigging.

Constructed from marine-grade natural leather, these sailing gloves combine excellent durability with reinforced palm and finger panels in the high-wear areas where sailors need protection most.

An ergonomic grip design provides a secure and comfortable feel when trimming sails and handling rope, while the stretch mesh back improves flexibility and comfort. A soft neoprene wrist closure with a convenient watch cut-out provides a snug fit without restricting movement.

Whether you're racing around the cans, cruising the New Zealand coast or spending a day dinghy sailing, the Burke Leather Sailing Gloves provide practical hand protection for sailors of all experience levels.

Marine-Grade Natural Leather

The Burke Leather Sailing Glove is manufactured from durable marine-grade natural leather, providing the strength and abrasion resistance required when regularly handling sailing rope.

Natural leather provides a comfortable grip while helping protect your hands against the friction, abrasion and wear associated with trimming sheets, hauling halyards and other sailing tasks.

Reinforced Palm & Fingers

Sailing gloves receive their greatest wear where the rope contacts the hand.

Burke reinforces the palm and finger areas to provide additional durability and protection in these high-contact zones.

This makes the gloves particularly useful for:

• Trimming jib and genoa sheets
• Handling mainsheets
• Hoisting and lowering sails
• Handling halyards
• Spinnaker and gennaker sheets
• Dinghy sailing
• Yacht racing
• General deck work

Comfortable Ergonomic Grip

Burke uses an ergonomic grip design to provide a comfortable and secure grasp when handling sailing lines.

This is particularly useful for trimmers, where maintaining control of heavily loaded sheets while still being able to release and adjust the rope quickly is important.

The combination of leather construction, reinforcement and ergonomic shaping provides a practical balance between protection, grip and dexterity.

Stretch Mesh Back

The back of the glove features stretch mesh material, allowing the glove to flex naturally as your hand moves.

This helps improve comfort and freedom of movement while sailing and reduces the restrictive feeling associated with heavier work gloves.

Neoprene Wrist Closure with Watch Cut-Out

A supple neoprene wrist closure provides a comfortable, close-fitting seal around the wrist.

The anti-snag design helps reduce the chance of the closure catching on ropes and other equipment around the boat.

A useful watch cut-out also allows sailors to wear a sailing watch while retaining a comfortable glove fit.

Double Velcro Locking System

Burke incorporates a double Velcro locking system to help keep the gloves securely fastened during active sailing.

This is particularly useful when working around sheets, halyards and deck hardware, where an unsecured glove closure could otherwise become caught or accidentally opened.
