Abstract: A system that maintains a comfortable hand and/or feet temperature during the course of a water sports activity. Exhaled breath is fed to the inside of the sportsman's gloves and/or boots down a tube which runs along the inside of the wetsuit to take full advantage of the insulating properties of that wetsuit. Rubber moulding units at the rear neck wrists and/or ankles facilitate the tubing's entry and exit from the wetsuit without disturbing the watertight properties of that wetsuit. The rubber mouldings can either be built into the wetsuit itself or separate inserts to go between the sportsman's skin and the wetsuit seals at the neck wrists and ankles.

Abstract: The invention provides a hand cover (10) for use in water sporting activities wherein a sports person grips a piece of equipment (6), such as a boom of a said windsurf. The hand cover comprises a wrist enclosing section, two side sections (2) and a main section (3), the two side sections and/or main section being shaped such that the hand cover has a pre-curled shape having a finger enclosing region. The wrist enclosing section, side sections and main sections together define an open section (4) of the hand cover through which part of a user's palm and fingers are exposed for making a bare-skin grip on the boom to mitigate against forearm fatigue that can be caused by over-gripping. The hand cover additionally comprises a biasing means (1) for urging the finger enclosing region of the hand cover to contact and fit against the boom, when gripped by a wearer of the hand cover, for aiding the hand cover in sealing around the wearer's hand and the part of the equipment being gripped.
