Cold water photography gloves

[Linda M]

I enjoy underwater photography here in Northern California. Unfortunately pressing the buttons on the camera housing can be a challenge with heavy dive gloves. Does anyone have any suggestions as to gloves that will maintain warmth while allowing for the dexterity needed for photography. I have found several online and would love some feed back on them or others that may be a favorite of yours. I found the Henderson H2 hyperstretch titanium gloves and the Fouth Element gloves.

I have really found the Pinnacle 5 finger, 5mm gloves with Merino Wool lining to fit my needs in the cold Great Lakes.

I use Fourth Element 5 mm gloves. I stay fairly warm and can still operate all the buttons on my OLY Pen housing.

That's great. I have not any, but now become very much interested to grab one!

For cold water, nothing beats a dry glove system for warmth and dexterity. Much better than wet gloves in my opinion.

I use the SI Tech glove lock QCP system (SI TECH Dry Glove Systems) with those blue gloves (Atlas 660 i.e., Atlas 660 - Atlas Gloves | Showa Best Glove), and just a thin liner underneath. Perfect for underwater photography! There are also other dry glove systems available that are good too.

I also have the SI Tech rings but use the black/orange latex gloves stretched over the rings with a poly/ wool liner and I find that they work well with the Ike housing for my Sony.
