Jessica,
I just got to try out a pair of zipgloves this weekend and I thought they were fantastic! I had no problem doffing or donning my drysuit at all! Opened my eyes to a new level of comfort (I never could get my neoprene gloves on comfortably over the zipseals).
But, this was my first experience with any drygloves and I got to try the orange ones for the entire weekend (we were at Dutch Springs, so I dove my usual spots/attractions, practiced upline/lift bag deployment etc.) and I never felt concerned that the gloves would tear when I ran them through my battery of tests.
So, how much of a dexterity difference is there between the orange and blue/smurf? Would you recommend the blue or the orange (what is the "actual" difference between the two) for routine diving (wrecks included)?
Thanks! And the zipgloves were a blast!
