SI-Tech Dry Gloves For DUI CLX450

[smb1014]

I am interested in getting a pair of the SI-Tech dry gloves that quickly clamp into an adapter. I have a DUI CLX 450 with standard latex wrist seals. The latex wrist seals have already been trimmed to my wrist size. I want to know if it possible to use the quick clamp system on this set up. It looks like I will need to install that quick clamp rings in the latex seals and then install the rings in the gloves. I would then connect the gloves to the suit. Is this correct? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have the Si-Tech dry gloves for my Bare drysuit with latex seals. It's pretty much like you've already described - there's a wrist ring that goes outside of the seal, and a clamping ring that you place inside the seal to clamp it together. Getting the wrist rings set up the first time can be a pain, but once they're in place they're reasonably secure. The gloves have a similar set-up. Again, getting the clamping seals into place is a bit of a hassle, but not all that hard.

Si Tech has another dryglove ring kit version that's available from Viking dealers, it's a bayonet latch that locks the rings together with about 1.5" of rotation. Very secure & easy to don by yourself, and only "slightly" confusing to install on your suit.
Here's a PDF from the Viking folks, it'll give you an idea of what they're about.
