Masterline Palm Protector Sleeve

Water ski gloves protect your palms from rope burn, blistering, and abrasion during slalom, trick, and jump skiing. They also improve grip in wet conditions, reducing the effort needed to hold the handle through aggressive turns and wake crossings.

Water ski gloves differ mainly in palm material and finger style. Amara palms offer excellent grip and comfort, while Kevlar and BlueTec palms prioritise durability and rope feel. Silicone-textured palms add extra tack in wet conditions. Choose a full-finger glove for maximum coverage and warmth, or a three-quarter (open-finger) glove if you want direct feel on the handle. Match the glove to how hard and how often you ski.

Measure your palm circumference at its widest point and check the brand's size guide, as sizing varies between makers (our gloves range from 3XS to 2XL). Gloves should fit snugly without restricting circulation — too loose and they slip during a set.

Rinse your gloves in fresh water after every use and allow them to dry naturally, away from direct heat and sunlight. Avoid wringing or twisting to remove water — press flat to absorb moisture and hang to dry.

Both styles are available. Three-quarter (open-finger) gloves leave the fingertips exposed for better feel on the handle — popular for slalom and recreational skiing — while full-finger gloves give more coverage and warmth. Check each product's description for its finger style.
