This will be my first year diving dry. I just bought a CF200 w/ zipseals and zipgloves. The majority of my weekly diving is for lobsters in Gloucester. I'd like to extend my bottom time in the chilly waters using my zipseal drygloves. However the spiny little *******s are likely to rip through my gloves day one. My question to you all is this... Have any of you come up with a way to bulletproof your drygloves for diving? I'm thinking about some X-large gardening/other gloves to be worn over my liner and drygloves? Has anyone tried this? Perhaps some kind of abrasion resistant, flexable tape might do the trick? Thank you for your help. Hope to see you out there soon. Sid

I just upgraded to DC dry gloves this winter as well. I was wondering about the large garden glove idea for grabbing bugs.....we'll have to try it out and report how it works.

What about using one of the chain-mail gloves like the fish cutters use on the fishing boats as an over glove? Those look pretty rugged.
