No, he bites and doesn't respect the safe word.

I’ve found fourth element G1 glove liners work for me the best. They are 1.5mm neoprene gloves. I’ve tried wool gloves, xerotherms, but the G1 feels warmer for me when diving waters down to 6 degrees Celsius.
We live on completely opposite sides of the country for a reason... he snores and takes all the covers. Can't pronounce the word flower, clearly was saying flour and blames me for the teeth.. it was just once!
..but that's all I hear about anymore
You poor soul.. you walked into a room where half of us have all but forgot what we were talking about and tried to steer it back OT. Good luck

Hoh, it doesn’t matter mate, I do enjoy chitchat anyhow
The Showa 720 gloves are very durable to the point you can hold on to barnacle covered rocks in a strong current or surge and they just don't care. I haven't yet tried wrestling with sea urchins, but these gloves might win that battle too
The Showa 720 gloves fit quite a bit smaller than the Showa PVC gloves. If you intend on using anything more than a thin liner, then order the largest size of 720 available which is 11/XXL. I don't have big hands, but needed this size to use just moderately thicker liners.
After recently needing to use loaner suits and thin, XL Marigolds that could only fit very basic liners, man those were shockingly cold in comparison to my normal setup of 720s and polar fleece or wool liner gloves. FWIW, my coldest dive this year was 38F water temp with the 720s, but I was colder in the Marigolds in 46F water.
