I've been playing with the idea of adding dry gloves to my old DUI dry-suit for a while. It finally came together after installing SiTech wrist seal rings. Browsing through the local Home Depot scuba department I discovered that the neoprene rubber insert into a 3" no hub coupling fit snugly into the SiTech ring. Pass the cuff of a heavy duty dish glove through the rubber insert and then stretch the cuff over the insert. Dress normally and then put each glove on with/without a liner and push the glove covered insert into the SiTech ring. Works perfectly.

part that holds the wrist seal in place. This pushs into the cuff ring and holds the wrist seal in place. While the wrist seal isn't absolutely needed (as the glove provides the waterproof seal) the ring IS needed to make the parts fit.
3 in. No-Hub Cast Iron x 3 in. Sch 40 PVC, Steel and Extra Heavy Cast Iron Neoprene Rubber Shielded Coupling-P3000-33 at The Home Depot Save the metal parts for another project. Use the neoprene rubber insert as a glove ring. Insert the glove cuff through the ring and then stretch it over the outside back toward the fingers.
The gloves are so inexpensive that you can have several pairs. No liner, light liner, heavy liner, plus spares. You can use any type gloves you want as long as they are smooth on the inside. Pushing the glove/ring into place is easy to do one handed. So is removing them.
I'll add pictures of the complete set up when I remember.
