Looking to get some dry gloves to pair w/ my semi-dry wetsuit in cold water 45-60 degrees... I realize there is a possibility of glove squeeze at depth past around 80'.
I am not really worried about it as I do not see myself going that deep for a while to come. So the question is does anyone have any dry glove reccomendations/reviews?

Has anyone tried these? http://www.deepseeinc.com/products/dry_comfort.html

NOT asking for drysuit advice... JUST dry Gloves...

Thanks in advance

Any glove that limits water exchange is a plus. The catch is that many rely on being dry for their insulation to really work. Getting seals to work tight on a wetuit will be the challenge.
 
I have and have used dry gloves with my wetsuit. They seal against your skin with a latex seal and work well. I have never dove deeper than 45 feet with mine, but the squeeze was tolerable.

I equalize my drysuit gloves with a string.

These days I would say removable liners are the way to go, but for a glove with a latex seal it will not work as well.
