Si-Tech Dry Glove System or Similar

[00wabbit]

I'm looking for a Si-tech dryglove system to attach to my drysuit seals. I am not looking for a permanent attachment. I am looking for the type that uses the existing latex seals on the suit.

I will need XL gloves.

Let me know what you have.

You might want to try on large gloves before going straight for XL's. My friend who is 6' 4" and somewhere around 200lbs uses medium gloves. You want them to fit tightly for better dexterity. The glove needs to end at the tip of your fingers, but doesn't need to go all the way between your fingers if that makes sense?? If you have a thinner glove like a liner at home, take it to Home Depot or such and try on the blue gloves they have in stock. Those could also be used in an emergency, but personally I would stick with Showa.

I'll go check out Home Depot. Thanks for the advise.

I have always needed XL gloves for motorcycling, winter etc. I have long fingers.
You know what they say about guys with long fingers? Long Gloves

If you have Zip Seals, the oval si tech rings will press fit into the seal. You just push the seal into the sleeve, press the ring with glove attached into the inverted seal, then push the seal back out of the sleeve and into the glove.

I don't have zip seals. I am looking for something to add to my inexpensive drysuit to get through the winter.

I can send you my home made PVC ones that attach with a vacuume cleaner belt, free if I can find them. They fit a DR suit.

Do you have more information this setup? I imagined experimenting and doing something similar but just curious how it works.

Might I suggest some Viking ring gloves?

I have read about those. People seem to like them. Do you know where I can find some for cheap?
