NICE! I saw those gloves at HF too, but I wasn't sure how they would work. Looks like they work well.
I've found it to be a pain to stretch the O-rings on to the rings while wearing the suit, so I bought a 4" PVC storm water coupling to use as a tool. Stretch the o-rings over the 4" coupling before putting on the drysuit, then put on suit, put on gloves, slide hand into 4" coupling and roll off the O-rings. Do the other hand and toss the couling back in my gear bin. Super quick.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread, especially to PacketSniffer for your contributions.
I have a 5 foot long, 3" I.D. PVC pipe from a landscaping project that I want to cut rings for the cuff. What length (roughly) was everyone using? The HomeDepot nearby that had 3" PVC Couplers had really thin walls and if I cut a channel, it'd break through. My pipe is about 1/4" thick. I'm planning to install them on a Whites Fusion and an Apollo Bio Pro neoprene w/Latex seals.
Edit: I just measured off 2 1/4" of pipe, strapped two hose clamps to help me make my hacksaw cuts straight. I was dremeling the edges smooth, but a router would be easier.
