DUI integrated hood AND SI-5 gloves = BAD combination?

[BlueDolphin]

Man...

I have a DUI drysuit with an integrated neoprene hood. But with the SI-5 gloves on... it looks like it is going to be next to impossible to get the neck seal off my head with the integrated neo hood!?

Anyone have this combo? With drygloves on it is really tough to get inside the attached neo hood to get a hold of the neck seal to spred it and get it over my head.

Seems this may not be a good combo. I am thinking about having the built in hood replaced with a warm neck collar and just use a dry hood that is not attached. Then I think I stand a fighting chance?

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks!

Another option would be, switch to a dryglove system that allows you to put your drygloves on after you're suited up.

Yea... I am thinking I might go with wet gloves and just install the latex seals that fit the SI-5 ring.
