Best Wet Gloves?

[eric myers 2]

I won't repeat what others have said about dry gloves but you may wish to consider them.

Currently, when I dive wet and dry I use a 5MM Kevlar coated wet-gloves. The 5MM is warm and you still have dexterity. In my view Kevlar is the key! These gloves are virtually indestructible. I had a pair that didn't have the kevlar and after a dozen dives they frayed pretty badly. I am personally opposed to the three fingered mit because I believe the lack of dexterity is a bigger problem than it is worth!

Although, I will probably go to dry gloves at some point. There is one advantage to wet gloves in my opinion. If you need to take off your gloves to handle clearing an entanglement of some sort it is usually easier to remove wet gloves than dry gloves. Many "muckers" have not invested in dry gloves for this very reason!
