Optimum 3D Zipped Gloves (3mm, 5mm)
Description
Northern Diver Optimum 3D Zipped Diving Gloves
Designed to provide divers with an exceptional combination of fit, flexibility, dexterity and protection, making them suitable for military, commercial, rescue, professional and recreational diving.
Available in 3mm Tropical and 5mm Temperate versions, the gloves are designed to cater for different water temperatures without unnecessarily compromising hand mobility or dexterity. The 3D shaped design provides a close, comfortable fit with reduced restriction.
3D Moulded Shape for Improved Dexterity
The gloves feature a 3D moulded shape with pre-bent fingers, designed to follow the natural position of the hand. This helps reduce restriction and makes it easier to operate diving equipment, handle lines and perform tasks underwater.
Combined with unique 4-way superstretch neoprene, the gloves provide excellent flexibility and mobility, helping maintain natural hand movement throughout a dive.
Easy Donning with Glideskin Seal
A Glideskin seal helps make the gloves easier to put on, while the long YKK® plastic zip provides a secure closure around the wrist. A Velcro® closing tab helps secure the zip and makes the gloves straightforward to don and remove.

The long zip design is particularly useful for divers who need to put on or remove their gloves efficiently before or after a dive.
High-Grip Palm and Fingers
A high-grip anti-slip finish on the palms and fingers provides additional grip when handling equipment. This is particularly valuable where maintaining control of diving equipment, accessories and other items is essential.
The gloves also feature an anti-Velcro outer finish, helping minimise unwanted snagging or interaction with Velcro® fasteners during use.
Durable Construction
Durable Construction
The gloves are manufactured using flat-locked stitched and triple-glued seams, providing a robust construction designed to withstand repeated use in demanding diving environments.
Identity Plate for Easy Identification
An internal identity plate is incorporated into the gusset, allowing the wearer to write their name or other identifying information directly onto the glove.
This is particularly useful for military units, commercial diving teams, rescue organisations, diving schools and shared equipment environments, where clear identification of individual equipment can be important.
Range of Thickness for Tropical & Temperate Diving
The Optimum 3D Zipped Diving Gloves are available in two thicknesses:
3mm Tropical – Designed for warmer-water diving where flexibility and dexterity are priorities.
5mm Temperate – Provides additional neoprene thickness for cooler-water diving while retaining the glove's flexible 3D-shaped construction.
Both versions are available in S, M, L, XL and XXL, providing a broad range of sizing options.
Originally developed with military diving applications in mind, the 3D Shaped Diving Gloves offer the performance characteristics required for demanding professional use while remaining an excellent choice for recreational divers.
From military and commercial diving to rescue operations, training and recreational scuba, these gloves provide a versatile solution for divers looking for excellent fit, reduced restriction, reliable grip and comfortable hand movement.
