Thanks for the replies - I'd figured 3mm gloves would be a good compromise, but I wondered if you could get hyper compressed gloves - You can get suits so why not gloves!

Cheers all!

I love my 5mm Everflex gloves and hood. They are very thin and flexible in comparison to my 5mm semi-dry gloves, much easier to put on (no garage gloves required) but just as warm.

I use these:

Decathlon - GLV 750 - cold water scuba diving (10-18°C).

and altough they are 5mm they feel a lot thinner, are very stretchy and are lovely and toasty

I bought some of those. Bloody rubbish. 2 dives and the fingertips are wearing already.

Personally I use Poseidon Pro 5 in the winter and Decathlon 2mm gloves in the summer. The Decathlon gloves are brilliant- they appear to be wear-proof.

I still reckon a pair of Marigolds with undergloves and 2mm Decathlons over the top in winter might be the answer. Easy to don, buggers to get off.

I use and love my O3 2.5/3 mm gloves, very comfy on the hand and for seem reason seem alot warmer than my beaver 7mm's!! Have been diving them for over a year, and still keep the old digits nice and warm!

And with a pair of garage placa gloves to help getting them on and off, I've never had warmer hands for 45 minutes in 7 degree water before

I'm on 20+ dives and they look as good as new

Endurotech kevlar 5mm mitts, what you lose in dexterity you make up for with their damage resistance.

Safe diving,
Steve
