Dui I think has a dry glove with latex wrist seals on the wrist , no clumsy rings and gaskets. Just pull them on and seat the seals over your wrist seals. These workk with latex and will work with neoprene seals as well , if you have the longer tube type neo seals and turn the ends backwards over the out side. Sort of like a tutrle neck sweater. Or you can install then backwards shiny side out over the latex seals . I have seen this with wreck divers . I have the longer neopreen ones and have allways just folded them over. the latex seats well , and you can pull on the nepreen sals a bit to let air into the glove , and pull the edge out a bit to let it out. Or put a piece tubing passing throu both seals from suit to glove. that will alloe air to move in and out. If needed you can turn over one seal and remove the tubing if you put a hole in the glove , and keep your suit dry.
