Dry glove fit

[Paco]

I normally wear a size Large glove, so that's the size I ordered for my OS dryglove system. With the liners on, the gloves fit OK, but the fingers feel just a bit snug. Is this OK or should I send them back for the extra large? In other words, is it the same with gloves as with suites that a little big is better than a little tight?

Are they neoprene gloves or the blue smurf gloves? The blue gloves should fit big, but neoprene gloves should be kinda snug, I think. I only have the blue gloves and the big fit is fine as they compress against my hands underwater.

I have the blue smurf type. Should they fit big even with the fleece liners?

I find it depends were your diving in cold water i would suggest a bigger fit cause if there to snugg you fingers will get cold in no time i have lots of room even with the liners so i can add more layers if needed and they do compress at depth

I wear a Large glove for below 50f water and i have a pair of medium wich are really snugg for warmer water

don't get tight gloves. I have XL wet gloves and just bought XL drygloves. Definitely want a bit of room in them. They compress down at depth and feel fine. I am talking about lined blue smurf gloves, cause that's what I have.

Bigger is better! I have Diving Concept dry gloves. The large was a little small and the X-LG was a little big. I got the XL and I'm glad I did. They compress quite a bit at depth.
