All,
I posted this a while ago and having trouble locating the thread to see what the latest answers were. I finally got some cash together and would like to add dry glove system to my suit. I have an Aqualung Fusion Bullet drysuit which came with the SLT system. I love this system as it makes it super easy to change out seals in the field. I mostly use wet gloves as mid summer water temps are not too bad around where I am, BUT occasionally we dive some cold areas where dry gloves would be nice versus the 7mm gloves I have. Are there options out there that will basically plug and play with the Fusion SLT system? I have about 300$ for this project. I would prefer to keep the SLT system and NOT have permanent dry gloves attached as I use this suit for even some moderate temp dives where a 3mm glove or even bare skin is fine.
 
SLT is the oval rings? If so, Ultima Dry Glove with a Showa 720. No hesitation. There is a gigantic thread on the subject. Do a quick search.

hmm I tried searching but it did not function for me.
 
They stretch over the current rings on the suit. Some people then place an o-ring over them to keep them secured. It is a valid method. I just don't trust it. I prefer the Ultima ring system. You can put the glove of your liking on to them. Excellent seal, I have never experienced a leak. They are easy to put on and take off by yourself with no help from others.
 
I have the Ultima DGS but would recommend you look at the Si-Tech Virgo as a viable option as well. Easier to mount the gloves and attach/detach from the suit.

I am confused at how these work?!?
As mentioned, you just pull them over the ring. They are tight enough that they create a nice seal against the plastic ring - never had one fail or leak at the ring.
