First off hello to all. I am new to drysuits so please excuse my newbie question. Does anyone wear neoprene gloves with a drysuit seal over the glove? On the drysuit that I have I have single wrist seal's. I have taken a drysuit class but in class we used a crushed neoprene suit so I wore my neoprene gloves and never thought to ask. I am guessing that it wil be ok to wear the drysuit and neoprene but I might get some wicking.
Thanks!

Always wear your neoprene gloves over the drysuit wrist seal. You will be a drier (and happier) diver.

You can also find dry gloves which have a thick rubber type outer layer with an insulating second layer against the hand. They also have a wrist seal similar to the seal of the wrist on the drysuit. Kinda expensive but keep the hands warm and dry. I dive through the ice at least once a year with my wetsuit and use the three finger style neoprene gloves. Keeps the hands alot warmer than the five finger style.

I use the OMS drysuit gloves: neoprene with long gauntlets and an inner sleeve that goes over your wrist seal. While not truly dry, they keep water circulation to a minimum and there is no chance of flooding your suit if they are breeched. I am willing to sacrifice a bit of warmth for the convenience of not having to deal with the hassles of true dive gloves.

First of all I am new to the forums. Second, I use Parkway Scuba 5mm Ti gloves over the seals on my Henderson Drysuit. A little wet, but nice and toasty.
