Drygloves, or wet?

[jonnythan]

The skaana ring system looks just like the DC system. Are you aware of any differences?

A year or 2 ago a couple of the dryglove makers were involved in a patent infringement suit. Can't remember which ones though.

I've been told that Skaana makes them for Diving Concepts. Same gloves and rings.

I'd go for Dry Gloves.

They're thinner than normal wetsuit gloves, and a *LOT* warmer.

Howdy...

I'm going to buy a drysuit soon, and have it pretty well narrowed down. The last option I'm not decided on is whether or not to get the cuffs installed for dry gloves. I'm leaning toward using my current 5mm wetsuit gloves as I understand dry gloves limit mobility & dexterity quite a bit. (So does a frozen hand though, right?)

What kind of options are there without getting the cuffs installed on the wrists of the suit? ie- are there dry-gloves that just roll over the wrist seals of the suit so that I could switch to wetsuit gloves as the temp goes up?

Most of my diving will be in the St. Lawrence river. Water temp yesterday was 32 (you can see why I'm drysuit shopping), it'll go into the 70's in the summer.

Suggestions appreciated, thanks!
Matt.
