| Dry Gloves
Ok Being a soft southerner and sick of cold hands I have bit the bullet and purchased some dry gloves. The type that hace a ring on the glove and then a seperate ring that goes on the cuff of your drysuit. No problem until close inspection of the instructions which show two ways of attatching the ring to your suit.
So Do I
1) have the suit cuff go over the plastic ring so that when the glove is attatched air can travel into it to stop the squeeze, this does present a problem when your hand is the highest point ie. when reeling in an smb. Dont really want to have great big blown up hands just when I could do with a bit of dexterity, or
2) have the suit cuff inside the ring, the advantage being should the glove fail the drysuit integrity remains intact, the problem being will the glove get such a squeeze that I will need a vice to straighten my fingers out again.
So there are the pro`s and con`s that I can think of in short. If anyone has used these type of dry gloves then any advice on what you found best or experience or lack of the problems I have mentioned would be great.  |
