What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I pulled out the Absolute Core Glove 5mm once our water temps hit their winter floor, and my hands stayed functional through full sessions that would have ended early otherwise. The extra thickness over a 3mm glove makes a real difference when the cold is that persistent, and I still had enough feel to surf the way I wanted to."When the water gets cold enough that a 3mm glove no longer cuts it, the Absolute Core Glove 5mm from Billabong is the answer. Built for the deep end of the cold water spectrum, the added thickness keeps hands warm and functional through the kind of sustained winter sessions where exposure becomes a real factor long before the swell runs out. The five-finger design preserves the natural grip and board feel that surfers need to perform, so the warmth does not come at the cost of dexterity. Pull them on, paddle out, and stay in the water as long as the waves keep coming.
