It's possible the product range has changed. Mine were definitely kevlar ('armourtex' ?), and definitely had the double seal.

However, when I tried to get a similar pair for my wife a while later, they only had a single seal

Guilty.

I dive all year round, teaching/demoing etc and use them for caving too (2-4 hour runtimes in 9c).

they;ve worked for me and Im a bugger for being finicky with kit. At the end of the day though, its about fit. If brand X fits, go with it.

I'd stand by the surgicals though, reduces flushing..... unlike the petrol station jobbies that just make it easier to get in and out of.

Whatever works eh?

Caution

To those who use diesel gloves or similar...

Please be careful when disposing of used gloves, as these, in the water, resemble closely the jelly fish which turtles and other marine critters eat. If they eat diesel gloves they choke....not nice!

Cheers, Paul
