Is there such a thing a "water proof" gloves? I have found "semi-dry" gloves in our catalogs at work, but they are made of 5mm neoprene. Will they let water in, or are they water proof? Basically, I need something that will keep ALL water out of the gloves (due to eczema), especially salt water.

Is there a lining (rubber) for drysuit gloves? Or is the best bet is just LOTs and LOTS of vaseline? I'm sorry if I sound stupid..but drysuit accessories aren't a big seller here!

Any help would be appreciated!

Basically, most full dry-gloves are a rubber glove with or without an insulation lining. They either have a seal similar to a drysuit wrist seal to keep the water out, or they attach directly to the drysuit (ring system).

On the other hand, the semi-dry gloves I have do let water in, but much more slowly than standard neoprene gloves. They alse restrict flow once the water is in.
