<< Type 1 (the Viking System) uses a pair of interlocking cuffs over
which a
latex or rubber glove is stretched.  This system incorporates the glove into
the suit system; often a straw allows for equilization between the air in the
glove and the air in the suit.  You generally need a glove liner to insulate
your hand from the cold so make sure of your sizing.  The only major drawback
is a puncture of the latex glove may flood the suit.
 
 Note:  this only works with latex wrist seals. >>

Correction: The Viking dry glove is made by Glover and is heavy duty rubber,
not latex.  This system works with or without wrist seals, and I have
installed it on virtually every sutit design, vulcunized, TLS, CF-200, foam,
etc.
