Ultima Dry Glove System question

[Heruhur]

I'm using the UDGS for a couple of years now and used rubber gloves so far recently I ordered some showa gloves for replacement.
I'm currently using the 495's. They have extra room in the fingers for undergloves. I also ordered a pair of 720's but with undergloves they are a (too) tight fit. (using size 11/XXL the largest I could order).
I could go with thinner undergloves, but that won't be comfortable, diving in 3-4C (38-40F) temperatures.

What do you guys use as an underglove?

I have been using 720s for a number of years now...while they tend to feel a bit snug for their size, the nitrile material seems to relax/stretch a bit with use, and becomes more comfortable.

For undergloves, I use Dakine Storm liner gloves.

Like ski boots, bulk is not better, blood flow restriction will cause hands and feet to become cold. I use the silicone tubes that came with my Ultimas to allow warm air from my suit to pass through my wrist seals and keep my hands warm.

That is exactly what I'm trying to prevent . . . . . .
If they tend to stretch a bit, then I'll try them with my fleece gloves. Coming months the water temperature will be comfortable enough.
Then hope they stretched enough for the winter . . . .

I've probably bought 15-20 different gloves over the years. Showa Models, local manufacturers, everything else..
I always went back to the Showa 495. Everything else either was way to tight with under gloves or had way to long fingers.

As underglove i use Enluvas at the moment. I love them. Also got some Fourth Element Halo AR gloves which i've yet to try under water, but they seem _very_ warm.

I wear Showa 720s on every dive, usually with Fourth Element Xerotherm Gloves under them. Sometimes I wear wool gloves, but I don't really notice a difference in temperature.
