 Glove Recommendations? Got a dive in the other day which i'm glad of as I haven't dived for a while and first time with the new suit. Only thing i'm not 100% with is my gloves really as I think they are a little too big and don't keep my hands as warm as I like. Was thinking of getting some scubapro kevlar semi dry gloves. I do a lot of wreck diving so kevlar or re-enforced palms would be good but not essential. Just wondered if anyone had any opinions on any gloves before I bought some new ones? Cheers all. Rob  |

Yes - try to use as little glove as possible. Unlike hoods where comfort is paramount, with gloves I'd sacrifice SOME comfort (i.e. cold) for sake of thinness. I agree kevlar gloves are great for wrecks and other sharp and injurious surroundings, but you can feel NOTHING through them. The more protective a glove is (kevlar or thickness of neoprene) the less you can feel through them, the less you can tell if you've the right bit of your kit in your hands. Ken |
