I dive year round off the west coast of British Columbia in temps. ranging
from mid-30's to mid-40's.I do not regularly shed my (wet) gloves,but do not
perceive it as a problem if I have to.It may be necessary when dealing with
chain/shackles/lines/tools or as simple as pulling a glove off to press a
button on a computer or watch/timer.Then you put the glove back on.I admit
you don't want to do this all the time,but it is no biggie.Before anyone
starts,I dive a drysuit with wet gloves.

Later,
Dave Grey.
