So I have a planned trip to Alaska to dive in Feburary, got the new drysuit (Pinnalce Evo2, with Merino Evolution Undergarment) so I got the body covered, but what about gloves. I am expecting water temps in the mid to high 30's, possibly dipping to below freezing. Now I have dove cold water maybe 2-3 times before, but those were training dives and we didn't stay long. So what do you guys recommend??
Here are the options that I was thinking about
DeepSea 3 finger 6.5mm
question with this glove, is that it looks like the gauntlet may be too long and give me issues with my suit interfering with it.
XS Scuba Dry-Five, semi-dry 5mm
this glove brings up another question, how warm are they really. I am sure that a semi-dry glove will be warmer than a standard neoprene glove, but are they really warm enough for this temps, I would be less hesatant if they were 7mm.
So all you guys that have lots of experience in these temps, please advice me to what you have found. I don't normally get cold quickly, but my hands have always gotten cold.
