    Default Dry Gloves For Small Hands

    One of my dearest dive buddies has given me a lovely dry glove system for my backup (soon to be primary) suit. It's a German system called check up, and all I need to do is add gloves. So where to find gloves? My main suit has zip gloves, and I have to use the orange ones because I really need a small, the medium is just way too big. So in looking for gloves to go on a ring system, does anyone have any recommendations for ones that come in small sizes, and sources to purchase said gloves. Any help would be very much appreciated!

    I'd take a shot with these. They don't make them in a small, but the 620 are a smaller cut than the 460. The ones DUI provides are the larger cut sized to be worn with a liner. These are sized to be worn without one.

    Thank you! For that price it's definitely worth a shot

    Yes, the orange Atlas gloves in a medium fit my hands, which are quite small. They have shorter fingers than the blue ones.

    You can get blue gloves in the cleaning section of Canadian Tire, for $5.99/pair. I use them, and they are great.

    Chan, if you have really small hands, the blue ones just won't work. The fingers are too long, so even if you jam the glove up to the webspace, you have an inch or more of empty finger at the end. The orange ones have shorter fingers.

    LCF that's exactly the problem I have with almost every glove I've tried. I hate excess space in the end of the fingers because it just begs to get clipped off accidentally, and messes with your dexterity in general. I hope these Atlas gloves will work out.

    I haven't tried the orange ones, but the ones in the cleaning department of CT seem to fit me just fine, with small hands. Mind you.. we could have a different opinion on what small is. Using the Thinsulate liners (also from CT) seem to fit well underneath them.

    Well, as far as small goes, they used to have to special order my gloves for the OR . . .
