Re: Best Wet Gloves?
DUI used to make a really nice set of wet gloves that I used with my CF200, which had neoprene wrist seals.

I don't know if they are made anymore, but they looked a lot like Unisuit mitts with a couple of important differences. Doughnut seals by the wrists to limit water flow, and not those goofy long "gauntlets" that they also sell. Inside was opencell rubber for a better seal on the back of the hand, with nylon linings by the palm. Back of the glove was thicker than the palm, since that's where all your blood vessels get closest to the skin,  thinner by the palm to make it easier to work underwater.

Aside from those, I now use Picasso 3-finger mitts. The have a double wrist seal, to keep all water out, and biotermic inside for a better seal yet still able to slide them on without too much effort. I don't know where you can get them around here, but Roger sells them in California and I got mine from Europe.
