Dry Glove Insulation

[Bald Wookie]

@divad was this successful following usual homemade zip seal instructions, but replacing with nitrile gloves? Very interested in your methods.

 

[divad]

I was only concerned with adhering nitrile to contact cement.

 

[Bald Wookie]

@divad so do you think this would be successful for zipglove creation?

I found the same sizing issue with the 720’s. They are too small to fit my normal insulation in. I am running 281’s and 282’s, but have concerns over their durability. I may go back to 620’s as they are a tad thinner and flexible when cold, as compared to the 660.

I'm 6'3" with large hands. I wear Xerotherm gloves under my 720s and have more than enough room. I was using XL gloves until Chris H. posted earlier about a great deal on Amazon for XXL 720s. I bought a dozen at $1.37 per pair. They have gone up to $2.84 but still a good deal.

I use these and find them very warm:
Auclair Ragg Wool Gloves - Unisex

Currently using:
Beidseitig beheizter Taucherhandschuh "Dual Heat inDive"
and I love them.

They have some interesting products. Do you use theit heated underwear?
I also wonder how you have wired everything inside the dysuit? What would be the most convenient wiring if I plan to use a Santi Thermovalve and want to consider heated gloves and shirt from them. I don't want to have any batteries inside my suit.

I just have size 10 showa 55 natural rubber gloves. I don't think I can use the flock lined Smurf gloves well I can but i hear it's a pita to get the oring seated since I use the kubi system. I think I paid a whole 8 bucks for a ten pack on Amazon. But for warmth I use the xerotherm gloves and they work pretty good most of my dives are in mid 40s. I had a couple dives at quarry last fall that it wasn't enough and used some thin Merino wool gloves under the xerotherm and that was just about perfect and I still had plenty of mobility.

I dive a lot in cold water (-1 to 10°C) and I use 4th element xerotherm wrist warmers, which have the same function as tubes (but cannot be removed in case of glove rupture).
When water is +8°C, I use xerotherm G1 glove liners (these are great!) and below that heated gloves and vest from Santi.

I regurarly do dives of +90 minutes in that kind of temperatures without moving much.

So xerotherm is warmer than G1?

 

[Rollin]

I don't know. I use the xerotherm wrist warmers combined with the G1 glove liners. I don't use the xerotherm gloves.
