I’m shocked. My Kubi system just delivered. It was originally due tomorrow, but I got a notification this morning it was out for delivery. Just shipped from the UK yesterday!
The standard gloves fit me well on finger length, with no liner underneath. Gloves might be a bit snug with liners, but I’ll try when I get home (delivered to the office). I love that they came with gloves already loaded on the rings!
No, the Kubi branded ring can spin around.Is the outer ring with the KUBI brand name on it supposed to lock down? I've got the little edge facing up and it doesn't stay locked down. It just sort of sits on top.

I think you’ll find it much easier to both install and readjust with the gloves detached. You may end up increasing stress on the seals between the Zip cuff and the ring, whereas the ring snugged to the cuff reduces stress on the seal and reduces exposed seal. This is particularly advantageous when you’re trying to push your hands between tanks or anything else when there are increased chances of tearing that section of seal. The impact of a torn glove is dampened by the wrist seal. If it happens north of the seal (the exposed area between Kubi suit ring and Zip cuff), you’re pretty shafted.I was also shorted two of the thick O rings to secure the suit side ring. Have to email to get them.
I followed the instructions of one video (by 50 Feet Under) to not out the suit side ring right next to the sleeve, but further out to not restrict movement. So that’s why mine are where they are. One ended up somewhat crooked after struggling to get the thick O ring on, but I’m not going to change it. Couldn’t get the O ring off when I tried. Should be OK.
