SI Tech dry gloves for small hands

[Dive Right In Scuba]

Hello Mike:

Not to hijack this thread, but:

What's the difference between the DRIS drysuit glue and PB300?

2 Different glues, and ours is a lot cheaper Any further questions, please PM me....

Second TSandM here. The Atlas orange (max dexterity) gloves seem to run a bit small. The size large blue gloves that came with my Si-Tec's were a bit too large, esp in the finger tips. The XL orange Atlas gloves fit me perfectly, with no excess in the fingertips (using the stock yellow liners). And I also cut off most of the cuffs. They work beautifully for me.

I've tried the blue gloves and the orange gloves, both in medium -- there is a difference in finger length.

And that my friends has been my problem, as I have shopped over 15 stores, both retail and commercial in my area. The glove fits, but the finger length
is still too long! I did find (finalllllly) a pair of the Atlas, in my town. And additionally I did find a pair at Seattle Marine & Fishing, so I ordered to pair in blue.
I was able to find mediums over here which fit fine, however the finger length was too long. What's with the world? Am I shrinking?
Don't know how they will fit, but for $7 for two pair I couldn't pass it up. We always need a back up to our back up!! I visited SM&F last year and was amazed
at the selection, and price. I was amazed they said they had the Atlas in a small. Go figure, I guess there is a market for small hands!

Gloves
I think this is the glove Lynne is recommending??
Atlas Glove, 620 General Duty, Vinyl PVC Gloves w/ Seamless Liner
My partner has teeny tiny hands, and they work for her, but they came from Kathy, so I am not sure what they are.

Seattle Marine is another store. I would recommend buying two set with liners to have on hand.
Atlas Gloves - Chemical Resistant

Yes Peter, so now I will have a pair of both types so I can compare. I bought the orange ones in Spokane, the blue ones are coming in the mail. I figured $7 for 2 pair was worth a gamble. Thanks for your input!! I really value it. After all, it is kinda hard to push the inflator button on my drysuit if I can't feel it!!!

More frustrating than managing the drysuit inflator button with excess dry glove fingertips is trying to clip off a bolt snap. When using the blue gloves, with excess in the finger tips, I was trying to figure out why I couldn't re-clip my SPG on my left hip D-ring. Turns out the excess glove on my finger tip--thumb tip, to be precise--was blocking the opening of the bolt snap after I opened it. For a couple dives it was driving me absolutely nuts. But it did force me to refine my technique during the multiple attempts I made to re-clip the gauge before I finally figured out that the excess dry glove was blocking off the opening.

Reviving an an old thread I know, I am about to go down the drysuit road and too have very small hands, how did the Atlas Orange small and medium work out for you in the end? Cheers
