Looking at getting a whites fusion and some kind of locking glove system so I never need to struggle to put wet neoprene on after a SI again. I know some systems are easy to don/doff while the suit is on and some you must have attached before you don the suit and cannot take off until the suit is off due to how difficult it is to lock the gloves on. Wondering if anyone with a whites can give some advice. Thanks, Mike!
No glove, no love!

Don't understand what that thread has to do with the question, he has a white suit??
Anyway, check out my review of the new Si tech glove lock system. I liked it so much I bought a pair for my wife, and my 2 dive buddies ordered them as well.
There a little hard to get on the fusion suit with the glove dams on there, but its not to bad. The system it self is really easy to use. Also we found them a little harder to "click" in on the fusion because there is no real support on the sleeves. On the heavier suits the sleeve helps hold the suit side ring stable as you turn the glove nut.

I wrote a similar review over on TDS which went a lot farther and more in depth with comparison photos and all.

The referenced video in the thread shows the assembly on a whites drysuit...don't know why it wouldn't answer the OP's question?

Yeah, I also thought it was a public service effort to promote condom use.

Yeah, the new Si tech rings are much easier to use than the vikings.
I have the older model Si Tech ring system on my fusion and it works just dandy. The neoprene wrist seal covers slip right over the rings nicely.
