Great shot! DID divers huh...as in 'doing it dead.' You do look cold though. Now thats a 'wet suit'.
 
Joe R.-

Do you think you could use those Nitrile gloves with a ring system on a dry suit? or do you need to have a cuff on the glove that forms more of a seal? The Nitrile gloves might have more of a "gaunlet" look to them-excess glove hanging over the ring.

I wouldn't see why Nitrile gloves wouldn't work. And they are incredibly strong and very flexible with good sensitivity-not as good as latex but better than butyl I would think. I use Nitrile gloves everyday at work.
 
I don't know Buff. I'm just shopping. The pictures on their site look like gauntleted gloves. I'm going to call and see if I can get a sample.
