Semi-dry or dry is the only answer.

My missus has poor circulation and finds the semi-dry ones (Scubapro) good enough to 4C for about 20 mins.

I intend to experiment with dry gloves this year, I am unhappy with the price and quality of the commercially available ones.

I use the scubapro semi drys most of the time. When it gets really cold (diving the baltic etc) I move to 3 finger mittens (Othree).

Would love a decent dry glove system, but the rings are all massive, except for the DUI zip seal system....

Cheers guys,
any idea's on how much the scubapro semi's will cost? I have £40 atm to spend on them, although if need be ill go higher, i'd rather spend more than go through the pain of seriously cold hands again

what do you think about the mitts? Ive been told sometimes they make it more difficult to pinch your nose

I use Poseidon 3 finger mitts and find them dramatically warmer than conventional gloves.

If I could be annoyed with dry gloves I'd try these people. A friend of mind uses the non ring version and says they're very good and, at 65 usd (around 35gbp) relatively cheap for dry gloves.

However, he was interrogated for 3 days by his IT security team after typing 'Nordic Blue' into google

Poseidon 6.5mm 3 finger mitts are the way forward in life! After a little practice they are no more restrictive than 5mm gloves.

I've been using the Hydrotech gloves (same as the Nordic Blue wrist seal versions) and found my hands were warmer - but you still get circulation issues as you get a cold patch where the latex seals overlap.

I have just installed the RoLock rings and after a wet first dive (no laughing Phil!) Am hoping I have them sussed.

Available for £135 from Nackers.
