Dryglove Liners

[JonG1]

I use 3mm wet gloves inside my Kubis, yes they compress at depth but that's where you need the dexterity usually and are least cold due to activity. They are then back at full strength on deco. Also less likely to get sodden if you forget you haven't put your dry gloves on!

If you do get a leak you have some thermal protection in place already.

... or dive.

This has me confused? I understand the "not on a technical dive"

Yes Sir, that makes more sense.

For getting hands through dry seals I use a 50/50 mix if hair conditioner and water in a small spray bottle. I also spray some on my wrists to remove the suit.

Yeah.. I need to get another bottle. My last one broke.. now it's just pure lazy not getting a new one.

For what it's worth, the G-Loft Hestra liners are great as well. I wear these in the winter and my thinner wool gloves in the summer. Hestra also has the liners in wool pile/terry, but I don't like them as much.

An insulated liner that can be combined with several different models. This same liner is used in our Army Leather Patrol, 30590. Also suits 30591, 30592 and 30800.

Please don't do that on a technical or *overhead* dive.


Edit: missed the overhead word

In the 8 years that I have had no seals in my drysuit, I have only once nicked a glove and had a minor leak, so not really an issue.

It is never a problem until it is. A full suit flood together with a deco obligation would not be much fun and could be very dangerous.

Showa 720s last about 15-20 dives before I get pinholes in the left glove....

I love diving without them but wouldn't do so on a tech dive.. chances are slim, but why take it.

Agreed.

Wow, that's wild.. I get about a year.. which is anywhere from 35-45 dives, but then it's dependent on what I'm doing also. If mostly wrecks then spring leaks way faster.
