The @soliteboots 5/3 Split Mits are overall a solid glove, BUT here’s my honest thoughts…

After trying these gloves out over a dozen times during the peak of winter (water temperatures in the mid 30° range) here’s what I found:

1️⃣ I found my thumbs going numb not long after getting in the water, maybe 30-60 minutes. The rest of my fingers were fine, but having numb thumbs was a real bummer and usually resulted in having to get out of the water sooner than I’d like.

2️⃣ I constantly felt a pinching between my middle finger and ring finger. This wasn’t as bothersome as my thumb going numb, but still wasn’t ideal. 

⚠️ Final thoughts: I was expecting to have a better experience with these gloves, given they were quite expensive and because I had heard great things about Solite from other East Coast surfers. 

I’ve tried gloves in the same thickness and finger configuration, but I never had any of these issues. 

Before making an investment on these gloves, I would recommend trying them on at your local surf shop and seeing how they feel to you. 

I will be making a review on the Solite boots in the future, which I can say will be a much more positive review👍🏼 #eastcoastsurf #wetsuit #surfing #coldwatersurfing #surfgear
