KWTT Dry Gloves

Leg of Salmon · May 28th, 2008, 10:54 AM

Hi

Does anyone have any experience of these gloves?

Any horror stories or glowing reports?

They are quite new so untested but they are 1/2 prices of the Rolocks!

Regards
Chris

Yes, spill your beans if any users around? Pros & cons

Thanks

Rolocks are well proven.

I'm seeing Richard at Seaskin next Friday so will ask him for a look at these new gloves- They look similar to the checkup systems drygloves with push-on to seal.

Rolocks are worth the extra- much easier to replace the glove and once correctly fitted then very reliable

if you haven't already got some I fitted some to my suit yesterday to use at the weekend. Will let you know what I think

I've had these for some 10 dives, quite happy with them, kept me dry so far.

Not the most robust looking system but seems to do the job...

Ive had mine for about 9 months and 50 dives now. Very pleased with them.

The best bit IMO is the simplicity of donning and doffing them, I also like how simple the design is - no clips, catches or twist mechanisms, just a single big O ring.

I either wear them with the seal intact to allow wet gloves in warmer months, or like now when it starts to get a bit colder simply put the underglove on before I slide my arms in the suit which means the under glove cuff creates an air passge through the seal to equalise the gloves.

I have had one 'bad' moment.... exiting a shore dive onto a shingle beach in a big swell, I managed to pop off a glove and flooded it, it was an exception though as you wouldnt be in that position often.... No big deal.

They get a big thumbs up for me for cost and simplicity.

Ask Q's - ask away.
