In Response To: Off Topic: Winter gloves (Kudzu / Jeff Horton)

I don't like the idea of putting anything between my dry suit seals and my skin. Unless a glove fits skin-tight, it will have folds or wrinkles that compromise the seal. It's also a bear to try to put them back on if you have to take them off.

Nordic Blue dry gloves were the "standard" for winter use at one point. You can also make your own using standard wrist seals and Atlas gloves that are available at commercial fishing suppliers and some marine suppliers. I personally prefer the orange gloves, as they're more flexible than the blue ones because they're double dipped vs triple dipped.
