Dry Glove Material

[eweingarden]

Just got my first drysuit (Seaskin), with Kubi dry gloves. I want to get some spare gloves and see that there are few kinds of glove materials; Latex, PVC, & Nitrile. Is one better that the other? What's recommended? Thanks.

My favorites, 3415’s are neoprene.

What would you guess the thickness is vs a wet glove. 3mm?

It’s neoprene rubber not foam like a wetsuit, overall it’s pretty much like any of the other materials used but seems a bit tougher, the 3416 is more heavy duty, stiffer but all work well, I prefer these because they come in my size, 11, and are black.

The 3415s are 15 ga, or 1.449mm. I can push all of the buttons on my camera housing with no problems wearing these.
The 3416s are 1.709928mm

Do you need to use a glove liner with the neoprene?

Do you need to use a glove liner with the neoprene?

Yes unless you dive warmer water Than I do.
