| I am also very keen to appreciate the 'correct' use of dry gloves.
I have a Polar Bears dry suit with the cuff ring 'built in'. The gloves don't have the ring so I'm not trying the astronaught type believing the advantage to be retaining a latex seal in the event of the glove rupturing.
I tried one hand in Wraysbury with the non-ringed glove latex part over the drysuit ring and a piece of bungee for equalisation ( I was advised that tubing would squash)
I too found myself aborting the dive soon as the cold (5 C) water crept further up my arm. I think my error was to just pull the tight latex over the cuff ring with no further large O ring. Would this be correct ?
Also, given my understanding that the benefits of this sytem is still having the drysuit latex wrist seal am I losing that benefit by inserting something to add equalisation ? I spoke to another diver recently who just goes for the squeeze and reckons they can use their fingers better that way anyway. |
