Ultima Dry Glove System question

[Deep South Divers]

I haven't had the struggle of evening out the gloves when I use 720s. They also seem a lot easier to load than the 660s. I can't compare the 620s, since I've never used them.

If it's dexterity you're looking for, I would recommend the nitrile 720s over any PVC glove, including the 620. A secondary advantage to nitrile is that it tends to be somewhat insulative, meaning that you might reduce your need for a glove liner... Which would dramatically improve dexterity and tactility also.

...As if those reasons weren't good enough to make the switch: The 720s are tougher, too... They are more cut, tear, and puncture resistant than 620s - despite being thinner and providing more stretch, more dexterity, and more tactile feel.

In short, nitrile is simply a better glove material than PVC... At least, for what we do.

A video I did recently about the 720s:


I think I already posted this a few pages back, but just so you don't have to go looking for it...

I received the NSK-24s this afternoon. The cuff is way too wide for my Diving Concepts rings, and the seam is large enough that the only way to fit the gloves onto my rings is to tuck them a couple inches inside, which defeats the purpose of getting longer gloves. Oh well, the 720s will be here Thursday. I'm hoping for better luck with them.

This is where the ring begins to get snug

Too much material left over after mounting the glove in the groove

Okay, cool.

Sorry. :-(

The 720s will be a much better bet.

Do the NSK24s fit on the Ultima rings? I thought they were the same diameter as the DC rings.

Bottom line: I could easily put these rings anywhere on the cuff.

I don't think the seam would make any difference.

Maybe the Ultima rings aren't the same diameter as the DC rings?

 

[MaxBottomtime]

They must be wider. When I put the DC rings just inside the gloves there is still space between the ring and gloves.

 

[Deep South Divers]

Yeah, must be.

Sorry. I feel like I misled you. :-/

That's a XXL glove, too. I imagine that if I had an XL glove it might be even tighter.
