Rolock for dry gloves.

What do you have for wrist rings on the new suit?

I went with Zip Seals for my first suit, I think they have a dry glove system for it.

OP, everyone here is talking about cold weather diving. And that is mostly what drysuits are for. But you'll also need a summer drysuit:

The ZipSeal gloves suck because you have to get geared up with gloves on. My gloves go on last. I use the Viking rings with my zip seals (silicone). They work fine with latex, too.

So you get a new set of zip seals and glue the ring to them? And then glue the other ring to the dryglove?

Nope. The pullover rings have two parts. Hard plastic ring that goes inside your seal and the rubber cuff that goes on the outside. It just gets pushed over the seal with hard plastic ring inside. Can remove them any time you want.

No. The suit comes with with suit-side rings sewn in and aqua-sealed....And a set of glove-side rings with wrists seals attached. You can buy a five-dollar set of blue Atlas 660 gloves and glue them to the glove side rings.....as per my avatar. Or you can buy some with seals attached for $150.00.

Just got a message from the shop, my suit is in. Woohoo! Going to go try it on Thursday. Hopefully this weekend I can find someone to go figure it out with.
