Okay, I've a bit of a problem. Using DCS and Si Tech dry gloves the suit side ring ends up on the narrowest part my latex cuffs. When I go to put my hand through I get hung up because my hand is too wide. I've tried talc, but no other lubricants.
My hands are getting cold on the early spring dives here where the water is the low 40's. Adding core insullation helps, the extra heat inside seems to let the blood flow to the hands and keep them from getting too cold.
The one time I did get my dry gloves on the warmth and comfort was fantastic. I'd really like to use dry gloves. The way I see it I have a few options
Does anyone dive without cuffs inside the dry gloves or have any other ideas.

- Find another lubricant probably liquid. I'm not real crazy about this idea because of the mess.
- Find a different glove that will work. I've got doubts about this one, the Si Tech is supposed to be the biggest ring out there.
- Go with pull over gloves that have a latex seal.
- Trim the latex cuffs and trust the dry gloves not to leak or worse fail.
