Dry gloves - pink_fins - 02-08-2005
I am really considering getting some dry gloves ?
but am just not sure which ones to get.
I have a DUI tls350 and know I want dry gloves that can come off when I want to wear my wet gloves.
Any one hear anything good yet on the zip seals ?
or which other ?

I (along with 4 or 5 buddies) use the Si-tech ring system with $5 chemical gloves. The rings can be used with wrist seals or without. In summer I will sometimes wear wet gloves leaving the "suit rings" installed. Works fine. There are several different manufacturers that sell dry glove ring systems. I think the Si-techs are on the DUI site.

I use the Si-tech dry gloves. They work great and allow you to wear wet gloves if you want. Most of the guys I dive with use them also.
One complaint, I have large hands and I can just barely get my hands through the ring. Try the ring first if you have large hands.

I wear the Diving Concepts blue dry gloves and ring system. No problems. I think a ring system is the way to go. I wear dry gloves all year around now.

I use the Si-Tech ring system, and have been really happy with them.
The only thing with the Zip Seals is that they are EXTREMELY expensive. I got a set of dry gloves for my girlfriend and it only cost roughly $70...they make a set of rings that clamp into your existing wrist seals. They install in a few easy minutes, and if you want, you can take them off later. I know DivePoint here in Stevens Point has them, but you could always check w/ your LDS too. They are really snazzy.
The ones that Doug and I have are permanently installed on our suits - the rings are glued into our suit sleeves...but some people like the removeable ones like my girlfriend has - they are definitely cheaper and easier to install.

The blue gloves are available for $5-$13 depending on whether you want the lining or not.

I got you beat on patches, at least 5 on each hand. Those rubber gloves just keep on coming.
