This has been the most mild winter I have ever experienced here in the PNW. I live in Idaho at about 2500-2700 ft in elevation and there has only been 2 times this yr where it snowed and stayed on the ground for more than 24 hours. As far as bugs, not much except for the salmon flies in eastern washington and western idaho during salmon season.
Back to the whole glove thing. They are all sold out already! Snatched up like hotcakes.

Sorry to get you excited like that
. The lobster are too stupid to live in Puget Sound, or they have more sense than the divers; one or the other. You would think that Maine bugs could live here though...We do have very tasty mushrooms (morels, caui, calf brain, couple other types)
Was bug hunting when I lived on an island in the Pacific.

As I recall am effort was made to introduce lobsters into Puget Sound. The test was conducted in the San Juan Island area. It was concuded that they could live here, however; due to the numerous large Octopus population that they could not survive to become populous. Seems they liked lobster meat too

Cripes, if the octopi are as intelligent as everyone says, they should have farmed the devils and sold em back to us :doctor:
Well, Red Lobsters just down the street...

Brand spanking new the suit would run close to $3000 at full retail. It's a bit on the specialized side, commercial outfits doing contaminated work & some PSDs (very very few) would be using them. I can dig up a couple of places where you could list it.
The 03 is the most popular sport size, be a tossup between a 03 & 04 for the HDs.

I have a question for those of you that are using dry suit gloves. I wear a Whites dry suit with latex cuff seals. I was thinking about going to a dry glove system. Any suggestions as to what you found works best for you or what to stay away from?
What works best for me, is a set of sleeve/cuff rings and a pair of wool gloves and then a pair of industrial rubber glove pulled over that.
Easy to get on and off and hands stay warm with wool gloves. Warmer waters, I wear a cotton liner instead of wool. I dive in waters 40-55 degrees.
