I think they were like $130 or less. I've bought several things from this company. Chris, the owner, is "the man."

I'll second that...Chris is a pretty nice guy....and well on top of that, he dives too!

Thanks! I'll check them out.

Yup, and he likes honest feedback about the products he sells so he can pass it on to his customers.

Something tells me I'm going to be getting a koplin plate/STA and some other accessories from him when I get my refund check this year.

No problem.

And very honest... when I mentioned my punctured CN gloves, he admitted to having contact/supply problems with DC and suggested that I deal directly with Skaana for the blue "smurf" gloves, as they are the Canadian importer (with DC being the only US importer).

I don't know if DC is any more responsive to my local dealers, but since Chris is basically an LDS, I would not think so.

My DC neoprene dry gloves didn't come with tubes. What do the tubes look like (diameter, length, wall thicknes)? I bought some surgical tubing but it looks way too thin to work effectively. I haven't tried the tubing yet but it looks like it would squish flat right away.

I don't know the diameter, but very small and thin and works great. Uncle Pug once said you could use a 7-11 coffee stir stick, and the hole in the tube is about the same. You don't need much. In fact, you can also just pull a bit of your undergarment tap through also.

just curious where you put the tube? palm side or backhand?

 

[Soggy]

Put it wherever is comfortable.

I put mine on the backside of my wrist, but YMMV.

Good question!!! I've been putting mine on the palm side of my wrist, but now that you ask, I'm thinking that the best place would be on the thumb (top) side of my wrist. This is the side most often at the highest point, so the air would tend to be there and flow more often into the glove. (My wife just saw this post and said I think too much. She calles it the never-ending-gear-adjustment).
