Use straws under the wrist seal or better yet extend the sleeve of your thin
sport undersuit under the seals. That way you get air in and the sleeve also
warms your wrist, that makes a huge difference in warmth. You have a lot of
blood vessels near the skin in the wrist and keeping the wrist warm is very
important. Using the straw is not as warm but if the glove leaks you can
remove the straw and put your back up wet glove on. Using the sleeve
technique it will leak a bit in to the suit if the glove floods. You can try
a combo of both.

I avoid cuff systems because they are a pain when donning the gear and with
practice standard gloves with latex seals are easily donned with out help.
If you use cuffs you have to have a latex seal underneath or your suit will
flood if the glove does...
