Worthington Galvanised 100 cuft/12.2L Steel Scuba Cylinders


Dive Magazine April 2010 Review

The Problem with gloves designed for cold-water use is that they are primarily aimed at wetsuit divers, Which I find Bizarre.
Most feature a twin-cuff design : the inner layer has a smooth outer seal and the outer layer has a smooth inner seal.  This works well when interlaced with a wetsuit cuff, but can't be used like this with a drysuit seal.  The solution may be to put the seal against your skin.
These 5mm neoprene XS Scuba Dry Five gloves suffer from the same problem, but in their defence, they are quite effective, despite the lack of seal then using a drysuit - but a couple of thick rubber bands around the wrists made them almost watertight.  All the seams are reinforced then sealed, and on our test dives did not let a single drop of water.  After several hour-long dives in 8°C water, they work better than most - but any cooler and i'd opt for dry cloves.
