Hopefully I can get a quick answer to my question:

I have a stock medium DUI CLX450 with zipseals. I sent it back to have the sleeves reduced to the maximum they cut, two inches.

Came back from DUI and I connected my compressed neorprene gloves to the zeals and have enjoyed numerous dives.

Being that I cannot remove my gloves while on the surface I purchased the SI tech glove locks with showa blue gloves.

While I love the glove system, I have a problem. The glove system have increased the length because of the rings.

Has anyone sent back their drysuit to get refitted to the rings? The suit is divable, but if altered I will get an even better fit.

Because DUI doesn't go beyond 2 inches for the sleeves I 'm stuck having to purchase two new arms if I go this route.

Just a little confused as to getting properly measured for the correct arm length and doing it right.

Has anyone had a perfect fit on length of sleeves, then added Dryglove rings, and had a problem?

Thanks,

MG

Take a look at how much length is added with the rings, it will push against your back thumb.
