$5 plus Shipping for a Pair of Replacement Viking Classic Dry Gloves. $3 for Liners.
I use the Viking Classic Dry Glove System (the kind where you stretch the glove over the lip of the installed ring on your drysuits wrist cuff). I love this system. Though sometimes not the quickest system with which to get into the water, frankly it is the only system Ive used that hasnt leaked. It either works well at keeping me dry, or, if the glove is ripped, clearly doesnt (as would all dry gloves).
The other day I ripped a dry glove. No big deal, for I always carry spares of everything. Though I noticed I only had one spare pair left. Later that day, when I stopped by a fill shop, I noticed they were selling them for $20 a pair (same gloves I use), better than the $34 for a pair that come in a bag with the word Viking on it, but still, in my opinion, over priced.
So I ordered some (the exact same ones being sold for $20 per pair at that shop, and the ones Ive been using for years). They are sold in bulk, thus, I dont need all these gloves (the box that arrived at my apartment was really big). I am passing on the cost savings to you. I have 24 pair, and am willing to part with up to 21 or 22 pair. They are the black rubber gloves (orange on the inside) with the rolled cuff and the texture on the fingers and the palms. Made in Taiwan. These are size 10, which should fit most anyone, except maybe those with really small hands.
While I was at it, I figured might as well order some liners, for mine are pretty much shot. I got the Ansell ThermaKnit Liners. For use in cold and damp working environments. They have wicking properties. Should be perfect for this application, though havent used them yet (the box just arrived). I got them in blue (they also come in white for a bit less money, but figure since sometimes I dive iron mines with really messy clay both in and out of the hole, the white would get pretty filthy after a very short while). Ive got a dozen pair of these, and am willing to sell up to ten pair. They were listed as one size fits all, and they are pretty stretchey. That said, they fit me just fine, though if you have really thick hands, these might not be for you.
Once again, $5 per pair for the Replacement Viking Classic Dry Gloves. Shipping for these would be $3 for the first pair. $2 for the second pair. And $1 for each pair above and beyond two.
For the Liners, the price is $3 for a pair of Liners. If you just want the Liners, shipping would be $1 for the first pair, plus 50 cents for each pair of Liners above and beyond the first. If you combine Liners with Dry Gloves, shipping is free (the Liners dont weigh very much).
The above shipping is in US Dollars for within the United States. I realize that people in Canada and Europe also dive cold water. Thus if you are from Canada or Europe, contact me and well figure out the shipping.
Send me funds via Paypal (Ill eat the fee). If interested send me a personal message for my Paypal address, or to ask for my mailing address to send a personal check. - Kirk
