THE APEX Kevlar Waterski Gloves | PIGOSKI
The Apex. Built for tournament-tier slalom — the days when grip is the only thing between you and a buoy.
Kevlar shell infused with Alcantara. The same factory that builds the gloves you already pay retail for. Spider-Web palm stitch — our own pattern, sewn into the palm to lock the hand to the handle through every pull. Mold-Lock cuff replaces the top strap; the wrist sits flush and the palm stays loaded.
No top strap. No D-ring. No break-in. Pre-curved is a phrase we don't use because we don't build to it — every glove fits straight out of the box.

Technology
Kevlar + Alcantara. Apex is the only glove in our lineup with a full Kevlar back-of-hand panel infused with Alcantara — the same high-grade microfiber used in Ferrari and Pagani interiors. Kevlar gives you 5× the tear resistance of standard nylon. Alcantara absorbs sweat and stays grippy when wet — most gloves get slippery as the palm wets out, Alcantara gets grippier.
Spider-Web™ palm stitch. 24 internal stitch points laid out in a spider-web grid that locks the palm into the handle without the bulky padding most slalom gloves rely on, distributing 60+ lbs of pull force evenly so no single tendon takes the load.
Mold-Lock™ cuff. No strap on top — just lycra with mold-to-hand technology that locks the palm into the handle. The only strap is at the wrist, padded over neoprene for protection and comfort, never between your hand and the bar.
PIGOSKI Glove Fit Guide
All PIGOSKI gloves use the Mold-Lock cuff — neoprene × lycra that molds to your hand over the first 2-3 sets. Slight initial tightness is intentional.

Fit notes by model
- APEX (Kevlar): True to size. Kevlar is rigid for the first 2 sessions, then molds.
- Ultra Grip (Amara): True to size. Most flexible of the three from day one.
- GMS Space Graviton V2 / 13k V2: Run slightly small — if you're between sizes, size up.
- Ultra Liners: Sized for the glove, not your hand. S liner fits inside S–M glove, M liner fits M–L, L liner fits L–XL.
