sorry this took so long.
That is a can of worms my friend....
There are several thoughts on glove systems. I have spend the better part of a month chasing down info.
Type one;
rings and glove systems. That is one of the ones I ended up with. You get a ring system that slips onto the suit and stays there in place with an internal ring that sandwiches the suit seal between two pieces of plastic. The gloves slide over top of the outer ring and stays on and sealed by water pressure. You can use a velcro strap of rubber o-rings over top of the gloves while you get use to it (or so I'm told). I have Viking rings with some chemical gloves. I haven't tried them yet since I didn't get to dive last weekend. Fairly cheap, $65.00 for the rings (talk to Jess at Odyssey), and about $12.00 for the gloves.
Locking rings;
these are the same basic design as the Vikings, but they use actual dry gloves and have a ring that locks onto the gloves. You have a larger twist lock ring that locks the two halves together. High dollar setup. $150 range
The last is the cheapest.
Chemical gloves or dry gloves sealed to your wrist seal. That is another method I'm trying. You use pressure the two seals over lapping each other to make the seal. The problem with this is that you get no air in the gloves from your suit unless you stick a little piece of fish tank air hose up your wrist.
I don't think there is any "one way" to do gloves. It all seems to be personal taste from what I can gather talking to people.
PS, Where were you last weekend.......
I ended up taking my boat up to Carter and puttering around looking for stuff to dive on the fish finder.....
