Mares FLEXA FIT 5mm, Dive Gloves — XS

Five-millimetre gloves with a preformed fit

The Mares Flexa Fit combines 5 mm ultra-stretch neoprene with a preformed anatomical cut and a textured palm. Its wrist design is intended to limit flushing at the cuff. This listing selects XS.

Start with hand fit

The preformed shape is intended to follow the hand rather than asking a flat glove to bend into every movement. Stretch in the neoprene allows movement, but size remains important. Check that the XS fingers reach the ends comfortably and that the palm does not bunch around the equipment you handle.

Try the glove with your usual inflator, clips or light controls before settling on the fit. Those checks are more useful than assuming that a 5 mm label alone tells you how easy the glove will be to use.

Pay attention to the cuff

The retailer describes a seamless wrist design intended to limit water entry. Arrange that cuff with your exposure suit’s sleeve and check the overlap through wrist movement. The wrist construction supports the glove’s insulating role; it is not a claim that a neoprene glove creates a completely dry hand enclosure.

A textured contact surface

The textured palm provides the gripping surface when handling equipment. Alongside the preformed cut, it is one of the details to compare if you want a thicker neoprene glove without ignoring how the hand closes around a control.

Choose the Flexa Fit around its 5 mm material, cuff and hand shape, then confirm XS against Mares’ current sizing guidance. No single water-temperature limit is stated here: suit choice, dive conditions and individual needs still determine the suitable insulation.
