Viking will be announcing a new dry glove system next week, here's a sneak preview in PDF format: http://www.trelleborg.com/protective/images/Pressrelease Viking Glove Ring System_English.pdf
File size is about 170 kb, it should download pretty quickly.
Rumor has it that it will accommodate a wide range of aftermarket gloves.
More news as it unfolds...

Download, and had a look, but don't really understand if this is a good thing, as I'm not a drysuit diver yet.

Currently starting to think about drysuits and their use.

Got a set of the new rings/gloves in, check out the picture of the kit.
There are several sets of color coded rings to match up with different thickness seals/gloves.
They even include an extra set of cuffs ($52 retail value) for folks that want to glue the rings on their suits permanently instead of mounting them inside existing cuffs.
The gloves themselves are very sturdy; (folks wanting maximum dexterity will want to use a thinner glove).
A nice pair of wool/poly liners is also included.
Kevlar over gloves are an available option for folks rooting around in broken glass & jagged metal.
The "bayonet" latching system is easy to self-operate & near impossible to accidentaly unlatch.
There is even a provision for inserting a safety pin in the latch for folks diving in a highly contaminated environment.

Next: a DIY mounting guide. (after DEMA)
