Randy:

After having tried and compared several different dry glove systems,
several of us here in Southcentral Alaska have ended up using and being
very pleased with the SiTech Quick Glove rings with the Quick Clamp cuff
rings.  These are  easy for one person to install and remove, easy to
change gloves and rings and to use any glove that you want so that you
can find the best fitting and appropriately insulated glove for each
person, secure, and not stressful on the suit when removing the gloves.

Systems that used a latex cuff on the glove to fit over a ribbed ring on
the suit were more difficult to don and tended to leak.  Gloves with an
attached wrist seal fitting onto the wrist in a mirror image to the
wrist seal on the suit were very good, but difficult for one person to
don and doff and were not as warm at the wrists.    And, the comparable
Diving Concepts dry glove system has slightly larger rings that get
noticeably more in the way of mobility, and removing the gloves is
stressful on the cuff/wrist seal connection.

Bests,

Alex
