Northern Diver Dry Glove System

[String]

Ahh picture makes sense. Yes "domed" for my suit.

I tried the smallest thickness ring - you reckon i should try the thicker one?

[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']I went for the thick one thinking that the smaller one is more suited for neoprene seals as they are a lot think so there is more material to try and compress into the designed gap, if you know what I mean. My seals are std off the shelf stuff and the larger ring seated just as the dvd said, did not bother to try and do the smaller rings. as I said make sure you have loads of soppy warm water this made it a lot better when doing the ring up. Also do be too scared when pull the seal about, think of it like a balloon and how much that can be stretched.[/font]

Well the gloves had there first test on saturday in 8 deg of water down to 20m and with the motorbike inner gloves on they were wicked. I did not bother with the small bit of tube on the first dive (just in case of a leak) and i got a bit of a squeze not a lot. The ring system worked perfectly.

TOP DESIGN and WELL WORTH THE MONEY.....

Still not managed to get mine fitted properly. If i get really lucky i may manage it and if weather co-operates get to test this sunday.

Incidentally do people with these rings still have room for computers and slates on the arm? Do you wear them up the sleeve or on the ring themselves?

I use the bungee mounts for my comps and compass so they go on my arms.

on the sleeve - not the rings. Bungied or normal straps - doesn't matter.

I've sort of fitted the things now. Not quite straight but going to try them anyway. Theres a tiny gap where the back screws into the front but its only 1 thread wide and there are about 10 on the actual fitting so i guess it maybe ok.

Will test tomorrow but expecting it to go horribly wrong.

Im covered in soapy water, my carpet is soaked, table soaked, walls soaked so may have overdone the lubricant part.

will they work with single neoprene wrist seals ? (O3 Ri2/100 suit)

they won't damage those seals so wet gloves will once again be fine in the summer ??


therefore what is the adhesive in the picture for ??

Hi Ash, I don't think this has been answered.

I just got these yesterday, and went diving with them today - Hmmm warm hands

Anyway, the glue is for a neoprene suit with neoprene seals. You don't actually glue anything with it, but it is used to coat a 1 inch wide band around the suit wrist where you are going to put the ring system. The idea is that it creates a smooth waterproof surface for the ring system to seal against (as opposed to the nylon surface of the suit). So, when the water warms up a bit, you can remove it just fine as nothing is actually stuck together.
