Wow if that is correct it is a seemingly uncommon size in Silicone

Closest match for a standard size o-ring is “345”.

The red/orange color is typical of silicone but that is not a guarantee.

A pack of 5 size 345 x 70shore o-rings on Amazon are @ $10:



I would buy a pack to check if they fit but I am away on a project in Japan for another couple of months. Anyone else want to give it a shot?

Making the link live since the forum SW still doesn't believe that Amazon is more than videos:

The link in my post brings me to the product page when I click it. Not sure why it doesn't work for you.

It worked for me, in my cart and if I can get a few more things in there for free shipping I’ll order some.

The Dielectric grease solved the issue. Eight glove rings now go on and off easily.

Glad that worked!

Its crazy that we've been talking about this this week. Today is the 1st dive that I've ever had a problem, very hard to put on, very hard to remove. Tried to lube some, then had to use the tool to pry apart. I think it was the cold. They did not like it at all. First time experiencing this.

16F topside, 29F under water... had to break through the ice. Bolt snaps and suit instantly froze when getting out.

Had to start the truck and get the gloves on the heater to get them to work!

Brrr. I can't imagine diving that without dry gloves.

Me neither.. I got the rings to work, just had to warm them up a bit 1st.
