Thank you, vanjames
I did not see this. But this gloves have some membrane between fingers. Is it permitted on race?

I believe the webbing makes their use illegal in races.
In fact, I believe gloves of any kind and footwear of any kind is illegal for racing - but I could be wrong...
You could always smear some vaseline on.

Swim gloves and booties are generally illegal but you can wear a neoprene cap and if your head is warm then you are less likely to get cold elsewhere.
I am swmming Sharkfest so I hope my hands don't go numb!

also to keep warm try multiple swim caps and silicone ear plugs makes worlds of difference!

Hi folks,
I swim in open water. Ocean in SF is relatively cold.
So after30-40 minutes of swimming I start to lose control over my fingers. It become very uncomfortable, I do not feel water.
I tried to find swimming gloves or something like that but I did not find any gloves for swimming. There are ones for training, diving, etc.
Do anyone else have the same problem ? Or may be somebody know solution ? I appreciates any advice.
Thanks,
Mark
