Hello all,

This weekend, when I was at Beneath the Sea, I saw a pair of gloves in
the DUI booth that were very interesting.  These were orange rubber
gloves with latex seals, lined with Thinsulate inside.  Although
they don't connect to your drysuit, they are dry inside.

I currently use the 3-finger neoprene drysuit mitts, which I have
found to be fine in warm water during the summer (in the 50s, Fahrenheit),
but in the winter and spring they don't provide enough thermal
protection, and my dives are limited primarily by my cold hands.

Does anyone out there use these gloves?  Are they really that much
warmer?  How do they stand up to the environment (the environment
in which I dive is full of jagged, metal edges)?

Thanks,

Christina
