Diving in cold water (Pacific Northwest) lends itself to good neopreme or rubber "dry gloves". You can buy dry gloves at dive shops (expensive). I've stopped buying these replacement rubber "dry gloves" from scuba stores because of the prices ($40 avg). Instead I buy them from a local Industrial Supply store. You know, the local store that sells hardhats and safety glasses. I'm buying the same dry glove there for $1.50 per pair. I guess I'm saying that instead of dish washing gloves I'd give these dry gloves a shot. With the hands dry, it really doesn't take much liner to stay warm (I use a pair of Mountain Hardware polartech liners). Wade BTW: Diving up here in water temps ranging from 34 degrees to 55 degrees. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Grant Thompson" <tfm2_at_shaw.ca> Subject: [Paddlewise] Gloves > In a recent article in Seakayaker reviewing neoprene gloves the reviewer disclosed that she normally used dishwashing gloves over a glove liner. Any body else use this technique? *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
