Much of my diving is in 34deg. To 38deg. Water.    What we like to use =
is the Viking dry glove (shell).   The best liner I have found is a =
thinsulate  "garden glove" made by 3M.  The glove can be fragile and a =
pair of wet gloves or mits can be carried as backup.   What I have done =
to mine is to "reinforce" the high wear areas by bonding another layer =
of old glove to the surface.   We use nylon tubing under the wrist seal =
that can be pulled out in an emergency to stay dry after installing your =
backup mit/glove. =20

I choose this method because it affords me the dexterity I prefer while =
maintaining the warmth I need.  =20

An example of the liners - I was using argon so did not experience the =
situation by my dive partner was using air.   During an ice dive that we =
completed this past Sunday in 34 degree water, we surfaced after about =
one hour of bottom time.  After getting out of our rigs and starting to =
remove our gloves, my partner noticed that inside the dry glove shell =
and on the outside of the 3M liners was a coating of ICE !!   In spite =
of this,  the inside of the liner was still dry and warm.  I have tried =
many different types of liners but none have even come close to matching =
the performance of these.

Hope this helps,
