Ding!! Dry Gloves are in..

[opie]

My Si-Tech Dry Gloves showed up the other day(thanks DRIS). Well they seem to be very well made. Instructions were pretty easy to follow,although it doesn't explain how to remove the cuffs from the suit once installed. Being the astronuclearproton genuis that i am i ended up with the cuff slightly lopsided on the suit. Well now i can't get it of to fix/straighten it. Any suggestions?

Here are some pictures of the product.......

3. You can see the grooves that help lock it in
4. It came with this handy dandy tube of chap stick,how nice of them to care

Let me know how it goes, I just got the same set- up. I haven't tried to attach it to my suit just yet because I will be out of the water for the next few weeks.

I will. I prolly should have waited as well but like a kid at xmas i just haaad to put them on.

I noticed with just the gloves on that they are not that bad,dexterity wise. Compared to some thicker 5/7 mm gloves i have tried on.

They come off the same way they go on. If your ds is on a hangar just pull down on the cuff then reach inside with your other hand and try to work a nail under the lip of the ring. Once it starts to separate, keep pushing the ring in and it will pop right out. I take mine out every time I head down to cave country. Do it a couple of times and you will be a pro.

Sorry I dont have any experience with this ring system, I use Diving Concepts. If you put a hole in the expensive blue gloves very quickly you can find some that will replace them and use your own fleece or smartwool liners. Ansell petroflex jersey lining I think will work for about $3 and a year of scratching and clawing. With the removable liner you can replace when sweaty and are good to go. The insulated atlas gloves take days to dry unless you want to coddle them with a hair dryer.
