Hi
I have dry gloves with latex seals, and a neoprene suit with neoprene seals. What’s the best way to avoid leaks up my arms?

Last dive I put the dry gloves underneath the neoprene seals, but I got some(a lot) water up my arms.

Has anyone tried folding the neoprene seals back a bit, and then placing the latex seal from the gloves over that? (The neoprene seal has very smooth rubber like inside). I did a test now in my garage, and I think that will actually make a better seal. What do you think?

I will go for a dive in a couple of hours. Thinking about giving that folding thing a try. It still 17 degrees C, so now big deal if it fails!
