I used these gloves for the first time last weekend, and one thing I noticed was that they didn't keep water out. My wetsuit is a Mares Flexa 8.6.5, which has smoothskin seals on the inside of the cuffs. I layered the glove seals with the suit cuff properly, but I found after each dive I had a significant amount of water in the gloves. Not that my hands were cold or anything, far from it, the water was trapped by the glove design and warmed nicely, but I was under the impression these were supposed to be true dry gloves. I checked the seals on the seams by filling the glove with water and found no leaks, so I assume water is getting in thru the cuffs. The gloves are size large and fit perfectly.
