Hey all!

I recently bought a new wetsuit and gloves. During my first dive I noticed a bit to much water running in my gloves.
My wetsuit is a Mares 865 with armseals just below the elbow but no seals at the wrists.
My gloves are Scubapro everflex without any seal at all.
I pull the glove over the suitsleave because the gloveentrance's radius is bigger then the sleaveradius.
This gives water a bit more off a chance off getting in my gloves and though my hands are not freezing, they get kinda cold.
During diving, when I squeeze my hand, I feel a lot of water leaving the glove.
After this long story :), I was wondering if there are some extra seals on the market to tighten the gloves more around the wrists?
Extra sow-on seals are not really an option. :)

Greeting :)
 
Woops..seems I wasn't tracking this thread automatically.
Thank for the link! That looks very usefull! Though I think finding it in Belgium could be hard.
 
Have you tried using velcro straps? You can get a few like the ones you would use to tidy up tv cables and wrap them around your wrists above the glove. The best solution would be to get a different set of gloves that has built-in velcro straps. However, this should provide a cheap fix.
