Product Information
The Bare 3mm K-Palm Diving Glove is a 3mm neoprene dive glove with Kevlar reinforcement on the palm, fingers, tips, and thumb, built for divers who need high abrasion and puncture resistance while handling rigging, tools, or catch underwater.
Who it is for
This glove suits divers whose hands take a beating on every dive: lobster and game hunters gripping rocky crevices, fishing divers handling catch, and working divers rigging, lifting, or securing equipment underwater. The Kevlar palm and fingers resist cuts and punctures from sharp rock, shell, and hardware, while the 3mm neoprene body still offers warmth and flexibility for general scuba use.
Key details
- 3mm neoprene body with Kevlar covering the palm, fingers, tips, and thumb for puncture and abrasion resistance.
- ELASTEK Full-Stretch neoprene panel at the wrist adds mobility without sacrificing protection.
- Anatomically pre-curved fingers reduce hand fatigue and improve dexterity on long or task-heavy dives.
- Double-glued, blind-stitched SECURE-LOCK seams for durability under repeated gear handling.
- Rated 100% PFC-Free; the neoprene contains chloroprene, which carries a California Proposition 65 cancer warning.
Compatibility and sizing
The Bare 3mm K-Palm Diving Glove is available in black in sizes 2XS, XS, S, M, L, XL, and 2XL.

Frequently Asked Questions
What thickness of dive boots, gloves, or hood should I choose?
As a general rule, thicker neoprene insulates more, so colder water pushes you toward thicker accessories, but fit, dive length, and personal cold tolerance matter as much as the millimeter number. Divers commonly lose a great deal of heat through the head, so a hood is often the highest-value warmth upgrade for the money. Remember that every added piece of neoprene also adds buoyancy you will need to account for.
How should dive boots fit?
Boots should fit like a snug athletic shoe, with no heel lift and no crushed toes; a little water inside is normal, a sloshing pocket is not. Try them on with the socks you would actually dive, and remember your fin foot pocket has to accommodate the boot. Hard-sole boots protect on rocky shore entries, while soft-sole boots are lighter and pack smaller for boat and travel diving.
How should dive gloves fit?
Gloves should be snug across the palm with fingertips reaching the ends without bunching, since trapped air and loose fingertips destroy dexterity. Thicker gloves are warmer but make buckles, clips, and inflator buttons harder to operate, so choose the thinnest glove that keeps you comfortable in your conditions. Try working a clip or buckle while wearing them before you commit.
How should a dive hood fit?
A hood should seal around the face and neck without restricting your throat or jaw, and lie flat on your head without pulling the mask strap out of position. A loose hood flushes cold water continuously, while an overly tight one is distracting and uncomfortable. Many hoods have a vent to release air trapped during descent, so check yours and burp out any trapped air before you go down.
Why does new neoprene feel so tight?
New neoprene compresses and relaxes with use, so a boot, glove, or hood that feels firm out of the packaging usually settles slightly after a few dives. It should still be snug afterward rather than loose, because neoprene that stretches into a loose fit was probably oversized to begin with. Buy for a snug fit when new, but never for a fit that restricts circulation or breathing.
Do I need to change my weighting when I add a hood, gloves, and boots?
Yes, because every piece of neoprene you add is buoyancy, and a hood, boots, and thick gloves together can shift your weighting noticeably. Do a proper buoyancy check any time you change your exposure protection rather than assuming your usual weight still works. The weight-check procedure is covered in your training, and a dive professional can help you re-do it.
How do I care for dive boots, gloves, and hoods?
Rinse them inside and out in fresh water after every dive day, since they hold sweat and salt more than any other gear, and dry them fully inside-out before packing. Dry them out of direct sunlight and never on a heater, because heat hardens neoprene and weakens glued seams. Store them dry and unfolded, as damp neoprene sealed in a bag is how gear picks up a permanent smell.
What makes the Bare K-Palm Glove different from a standard 3mm dive glove?
The K-Palm adds Kevlar across the palm, fingers, tips, and thumb over its 3mm neoprene, for lobster hunting, fishing, and rigging dives.
What's included when I order the Bare 3mm K-Palm Glove?
Each order includes one pair of Bare 3mm K-Palm Gloves packaged in a reusable mesh bag.
Is the Bare 3mm K-Palm Glove PFC-free?
Yes, Bare rates this glove as 100% PFC-Free. The neoprene does carry a California Proposition 65 warning because it contains chloroprene, a substance the state lists as a known carcinogen.
What sizes does the Bare 3mm K-Palm Glove come in?
It is available in black in sizes 2XS, XS, S, M, L, XL, and 2XL.
