Bryon, I saw something new at UW Canada last year. It was a very thick rubber glove with fur on the inside. It had drysuit wrist seals. It was different than all other dry gloves I've seen. What I didn't like about it was that you had no way of adding air to it at depth. At the surface, you had to let a lot of air into it, and it looked like an uncomfortable balloon around your hand. It would be ok at the deeper depths, but it would anytime you weren't at your deepest part of the dive. I heard some people talking about using them with straws going from the drysuit wrist seal to the gloves wrist seal to allow airflow. Just an idea. I can't remember the company that made them. steve ----- Original Message ----- From: Bryon Bertrim <bryon@bi*.co*> To: <techdiver@aquanaut.com> Sent: Sunday, March 19, 2000 1:19 PM Subject: Looking for Dry gloves ideas > For years i have been using wet suit gloves with my dry suit.
