Thankyou!

I was worried it might be option B, no wonder they are so hard to get on!

Do you have any tips for getting them on easier? please don't say get rings lol

Cheers

Practice and don't be shy, it's actually pretty easy if you use enough oomph in pulling them on. Then you need to learn the art of the "fat-fingered pinch" to adjust the seal of the last glove!!!

Or, failing that, smile nicely at your buddy.

Hmmm, like I said it's a bit tricky to try to explain but I'll have a go!

Put your thumb inside the seal of the right glove and pull the glove on. Work your thumb around the inside of the seal to pull it over the top of the drysuit seal as far up as you can. Then pull the glove as though you're removing it which will help the seal of the glove "flatten" out a bit. Then "flick" the edge of the seal up to sort out any wrinkles that are left.

Repeat for the left hand

The other option is Poseidon or Waterproof (a brand not waterproof as in dry) 5mm mittens everyone that I have spoken to rates them. I use the Waterproof 5mm gloves and they are v.good.

Possibly but as he wrote:

"I am currently using posiedon 5mm mitts (although they are starting to get holes in the fingers)."

Im assuming he tried them
