Installing Gloves - Waterproof Ultima Dryglove Ring System

[@ThePhilSpace]

I recently tried the 720 gloves with my Ultima rings on the back of your recommendation and they really are fantastic, thank you. With installation though, I have seen your way and read the varied and complex methods people have come up with on forums but I have tried something easier. I bought bigger o-rings. The standard rings are about 82mm internal diameter. I bought 95mm nitrile o-rings (£0.50 each). Install is so easy! The glove really is only secure with the silicone over ring in place however, but once it's on they are secure and water tight. This allows gloves down to size 8 to be fitted with ease.

95mm nitrile o-rings sounds like a great idea. I am scared of installing it as my fingers are small...

Thank you!

Fantastic instruction! Factory manual is useless. Already was thinking about looking for that "fitting device", after Your movie installed in 5 minutes! Thank You! Just replaced factory's Antares on my drysuit, hoping to test it next weekend :-)

Instead of using the cosmetic ring, I used the black O-rings that came with the system for mounting the suit ring to a glued-in wrist seal. They are tighter than the cosmetic ring, holding the gloves even more securely onto the glove ring.

Agreed... But I've found that the cosmetic ring can protect the stretched edge of the glove from punctures. O-rings don't.
