Thanks so much for the answers. Has anyone ever used these?

Which family of drygloves is the best?

I tried several types of dry glove systems with mostly poor results. DUI Zip Seals were difficult to get on without a buddy's help. The first one that worked most of the time was Diving Concepts. When they went out of business, Waterproof bought their design and improved on it. I used The...

They do not have any ring. Are they any good?

You linked your own thread back into itself.

Thanks. I meant these ones. They look simple.

Drygloves with Seal

Built in house here at Dive Right In Scuba, we take our Blue Drygloves that come with a liner and our Latex Wrist Seals and put it in one sweet little dryglove. No need to have a dryglove system or anything. Just put one wrist seal over the other, and viola, your hands are dry! No clunky...

How do you equalise those gloves when deep or ascending?

It’s damn uncomfortable with your hands crushed or like balloons when ascending.

I wasn't thrilled with the si tech system due to a number of leaks. Much prefer Rolocks. So far, so good and the click in place is nice.

Place a tube or thumb loop from your undergarment under your wrist seal. These gloves go on top of the wrist seals. It's difficult to get them flat without a buddy, and they can pop off in the water if you have too much air in the glove.
The absolute worst dry glove system I used was the SiTeck oval system. The little tabs would come loose if I reached for anything, and two of the glove rings broke during setup.
The DUI ZipSeals are way too expensive to replace.

Seem that those gloves are sort of a poor man’s real dry gloves. Meaning that any dryglove system you choose should be capable of easy and reliable donning and doffing.

Re: Si-tec that’s what most people I’ve heard complain about.

I tried a pair, and found them to be a PITA even with a buddy. I do a lot of solo diving, and never found a way to put them on by myself.

Kubi popped off constantly on me.

The old Si tech were a real PITA to get off.

4th element were a little hard to line up but mostly impossible to keep the o-ring clean pre dive

Kubi popped off constantly on me.

My trick with Kubi rings is to dribble on the glove ring before squeezing them on as it lubricates them.

Have never had a Kubi pop off. Have not properly pushed them home — some of the red O-ring was showing — and immediately noticed when jumping in, then I properly seated the ring!

Have had Kubis for 7 years and hundreds of dives (500+) and found them to be good.

You have to roll them on. Trying to put the second one on without rolling is nearly impossible. I love the simplicity of the Ultima system. Simply pop the glove on and dive. The Rolock 90 is more secure, and really easy to get in and out of. The rings in this video haven't been greased enough. They actually move more freely than this. I also cut off my wrist seals, making it easier to equalize the gloves and to get in and out of the gloves.


The Ultima and Rolock suit rings are similar, so this is the way I attach the wrist seals.
