Dry Glove Liners

[CALI68]

Can anyone recomend an alternative to the wool Dry Glove Liners? Something that would stay warm when wet. Like thinsulate or Polartec. Does anyone have a lead or a link to something like that?

Wool does stay warm when wet, thats one reason why its so good. Go to any sports store, or army/navy surplus and see what they have.

I had a leak in my left glove last weekend ( most likely the Zip Seal) Anyway, that hand froze the whole dive and I had the stock liner on...I'm prety sure it's wool.

Yestarday I went to a local outdoors shop and I bought a pair of 200 weightPolartec gloves very similar to to those. I took the time to remove the grip material from the palm and fingers...that was a pain! They fit fine (a tad more snug than the wool liners) and I look forward to using them.

Thanks!

I've had a couple leaks and mine, though cool, was not uncomfortable after a 90 minute dive.

Flood one of your new ones and see how it does.

LOL! Ok will do. While I'm at it I'll flood the whole suit to check my Thinsulate undergarments! No biggie the water here has only been a balmy 48 degrees. Shouldn't be a problem.

Excuse-me if I'm being stupid but why do you peel off the grip material??

Not stupid at all! It's because ecause it makes it easier to put your hand (with the liner) in the Dry Glove. The Polartec liner slides into the dry gloves alot easier without GRIP materieal.

You know, if you never flood it, you'll never **really** know if that Thinsulate works or not
