Dryglove advice (660 vs 495)

[jonnythan]

So normally I use these gloves in a size large

The size large on the 495 is almost too big. Since I already have liners, though, I am going to replace them with these: https://ssl2.adhost.com/seamar/merchant.cfm?pid=31488&step=4

What I'm wondering is what size people use in the 660 or how the sizes compare to the 495. I'd guess I'd need to move up to the XL, but I'm not sure.

Suggestions?

All I have used is the 495. The 660 appears to to have and integrated liner??

Quote: "It offers the same seamless liner for comfort".

They are a heck of a lot cheaper than the 495. If you decide to buy them let us/me know what you think of them.

I don't understand... how do you use those in the context of drysuit diving? Do you tape them on?

The gloves attach to rings that allow you to take the glove set up on and off and hopefully remain watertight.

Yeah, big price difference!

I'm using the 495 also. If these work for you, Jonnythan, please post a review.

See diveriteexpress.com to see how they go on a suit.

The PVC is a different compound betweeen the 495 and the 660. The 660 will feel like you are wearing a glove made from cardboard, and is not as easy to use when colder. I prefer the 495, its easier to manipulate clips and "stuff" underwater with the extra feel it gives from being a little softer.
