Subject: Viking Dry Glove
I just recently got a Viking dry suit with the dry glove kit. As best as I can 
determine from the (rather poor) manual, the dry glove rings clamp onto the 
wrist seals and the outer rubber shells simply stretch over the rings.

This doesn't look very secure to me. Anyone have any experience with these? 

Will the glove seal properly and stay on? Do you get much squeeze with this 
arrangement or does air from the wrist seal equalize the glove?

It looks like stretching the glove over the inner ring and using the outer ring 
to clamp it on would be more secure and watertight, but the manual does not
show 
it that way.

Thanks,

Rick
