Dry Glove fit question

[CALI68]

I was curious if people like Dry Gloves a little loose or very snug (above water)

Thanks!

Somewhat loose. They will compress once underwater and you need room for liners.

Depending on what kind you have, you might want to shorten them up a bit for a better fit. I have DC crushed neoprene gloves that I had to shorten up by about an inch so that they were more snug prior to getting into the water. If you have this type of glove, I have to warn you that it is a major league PITA to make this adjustment, but well worth it.

a little loose. pressure snugs them right up.

Mine are also long, but as soon as I get in the water and pressure hits, they fit perfect. Never thought to shorten them up.

Thanks! I have The BARE Dry Gloves and they are fairly loose on the surface (pretty annoying). They're fine under water. The problem I run into on the surface is that my fingers sorta slip out of their pockets when I have my arms down. This is a pain for making last minute adjustments and stuff. The Bare gloves don't have the "cinch band" like the DUI's do. I tried on a smaller size and they fit snug on the surface and also stayed on my hands (I didn't dive in them though)

well, with the skaana gloves, similar style to bare, I don't put my gloves on until I'm ready to get in the water, so last minute adjustments are done before they're on. Mine seem to fit similar to how you're describing CALI68.
