| Ooooh, never had any leaking problems with mine in the 3 years i've had them. Only problems i've had was before I had the tubes through the seal. If you've got the seal completely intact, what can happen is that as you go down and the gloves compress, a little bit of air can bubble out through the seal into the glove, equalising it a little bit at depth. However, as you ascend that air cannot go back the other way, and many times I was ascending and was totally unable to use by hands since the air in my gloves had expanded so much it was like having a balloon on the end of my hands. When I pulled them off on the surface (needed to to inflate my BC and get back up ladders or whatever) I generally soaked the inside of the glove (just through not holding them out of the water enough)... which made the next dive rather soggy!
With the tubes in though, i've never had any problems. If its not sealing correctly though its worth trying to work out why. I always check mine are fully pushed on all the way around before jumping in, but once on i've never had one pop off.
