I've been cave diving in cold waters (39=BAF / 4=BAC) and I wonder what = is people out there using for hands insulation. We are exploring a mountain spring at altitude (6000 ft / 1800m), we left the end of the line at -249 ft/ 76m depth, not far form entrance, we use Trimix as bottom gas, and Argon as insulation., Dry suit is DUI TLS350, and for hands insulation we use DUI Dry5 gloves latex wrist seal equalized with the suit, and with a thin polartec glove inside.=20 But after an exposure of 50-60 minutes, our hands become very cold, and we lose all of the dexterity, however, body, head and feet are very comfortable, the problem is only with our hands. The cave stills wide open, and to push further, exposure times will increase, so Is there a better solution? I don't want to use ring systems and flood my suit if one of my gloves has a leak.=20 We do in-water deco, may be we will have to move to dry deco, habitat or so?
