I've got the DUI dry glove system on my CF200.  IT SUCKS if you're doing
wrecks or going up anchor lines because the gloves tear easily. It's not so
bad cost-wise once you realize that you can buy replacement gloves at the
hardware store for $7.00 instead of DUI's $60 or so.

Also, w/ DUI's system, if you don't install the glove just right, you'll get
a leak at the ring. The only way to fix this is to take off the suit as the
glove/ring assemblies slide in through the end of sleeve.  Nothing like a
small leak in 34 degree water to wake you up.

I leave latex seals in the ring system and just wear wet gloves.
