Solite innovations LLC the company that introduced the first and only heat moldable custom fit surf and water sports boot has just released its new line of cold-water sports gloves. “This is our fifth winter in the market and last year we were ecstatic to learn that we had climbed to second place in wetsuit boot category according to Action Watch retail data. Since then, we have never left the top three month over month. That puts us ahead of most of the industry’s biggest brands and tells us that our boots are extremely well received.” Said Tyler Callaway co-founder of Solite. “But, we are not resting on our laurels, my partner Jamie worked his ass off last year to make the best wetsuit gloves in the business.”
“Our company ethos is: If we can’t do it dramatically better, we’re not doing it.” Said Jamie Meiselman co-founder of Solite. “So, the gloves had to be lighter, warmer, fit better and grip better. The feedback from all of our testers has been super positive and we are excited to put the Solite name behind them. They come in a variety of thicknesses and designs for range of temperatures like tepid So Cal, to the coldest polar point break.
We have 2/2mm and 3/2 mm gauntlet gloves or 5/3 and 6/4 in the revolutionary Split Mitt. Which groups the index finger in with the middle finger for added warmth.
We found a way to make the outside of the gloves hydrophobic, more durable and exceptionally grippy. We feel it’s another breakthrough in cold water surfing performance. “They are lighter so you can paddle faster and farther, warmer, so you can stay out longer, and grippyier so you have more control in any situation.” Meiselman said.
You can find Solite’s new gloves at better surf shops everywhere from San Diego to Seattle and Maine to South Carolina, Canada and around the world. Paired with Solite’s patented heat moldable custom fit boots they take cold water surf to new heights of performance and comfort.
