Rob Allen - Nitrile Gloves
The Rob Allen Nitrile Gloves are a specialized protective solution designed for the rigorous demands of New Zealand spearfishing and crayfish gathering. Built with a high-performance HPPE (High Performance Polyethylene) and Dyneema knit body, these gloves offer exceptional cut and abrasion resistance without sacrificing the dexterity needed to handle spearguns and delicate gear.
Unlike standard thermal gloves, these are engineered specifically for "working" underwater—gripping spiny rock lobster (crayfish), handling fish with sharp gills, and loading rubbers. The double nitrile coating provides a superior non-slip grip even in wet conditions, making them an essential tool for serious divers who prioritize hand protection over thermal insulation.
- Level 5 Cut Resistance – Provides maximum protection against sharp spines, kina, and reef structures.
- Double Nitrile Coating – Ensures a secure, non-slip grip on wet spearguns, rubber bands, and slippery catch.
- HPPE/Dyneema Construction – Delivers extreme durability and tear resistance for gathering crayfish.
- High Dexterity Fit – Allows for precise finger movement when rigging gear or squeezing triggers.
- Seamless Knit Design – Reduces chafing and irritation during long sessions in the water.
