From Jgidley: I haven’t read all the responses. One suggestion I got is depending on the drysuit. Is to use kitchen rubber gloves. They will seal over your cuffs insulating your dry gloves underneath. I thought it was crazy until I watched one of the divers using them. We were ice diving at the time

I do not have drygloves for this coming suit (it is currently being built),... just regular seals. Without a ring system, just rubber gloves alone will not work. I tried the ring system several years ago & could not get it to work. That is when I retrofitted my current suits to Zip Seals. They worked great! The suits just didn’t hold up. I will send this suit in to DUI to retrofit it with Zip Seals this winter, when things (diving- wise) are slow. I figured I would just use wet gloves until such time.
