zip gloves.... safe?

get out!!! you can use chemical gloves from Home Depot?? Are they really that strong?

I get the lined blue "smurf gloves" for $20 from a local commercial fishing supply place. The same gloves are $45 at the LDS and he gets them from the same place
Once I figured out how to assemble them, it's not a big deal to do it myself (somehow couldn't bring myself to spend $20 to get the LDS to install the rings!!)

As far as I see it, there are two issues with this new zip seal thing, and the zip gloves. #1- I cant afford them. #2- I dont want them. I dont want anything that zips on my suit (except for the dry zipper). I dont even have dry gloves, because I dont want to risk the integrity of my suit with the gloves (yes, there are some that you can use a wrist seal with, and If I ever do decide to pony up the cash for them, I will get that type). For me, wetsuit gloves are cheaper to replace, and I dont risk a suit leak with them.

Wetsuit gloves are not cheaper to replace, dude. Where can you get good coldwater wetsuit gloves for $15/pair?

Yeah, youre right. Im still thinking that I am working at a LDS P). I was getting some nice Deep See 5mm gloves for $15. Also, I didnt have to pay for rings and cuffs for my drygloves.
