Wet suit gloves can be used with any dry suit.

While it might seem reasonable that wet suit gloves could be used with any dry suit, the reality is that they often do not provide the necessary thermal protection or proper sealing when used in conjunction with a dry suit. Dry suits are designed to keep the diver dry and insulated, and they typically use a different system to maintain warmth and prevent water intrusion compared to wet suits.

When divers use a dry suit, they need to ensure that their gloves also provide an adequate seal to maintain the dry environment inside the suit. Many dry suits come with specific dry gloves designed to work with them, typically featuring a seal that connects directly to the suit. This prevents water from entering, maintaining the thermal insulation the diver relies on.

Using wet suit gloves, which are made to function in a completely different way, could compromise the insulation properties of the dry suit, potentially leading to exposure to cold water and heat loss. Therefore, the idea that wet suit gloves can simply be used with any dry suit does not hold true, emphasizing the need for appropriate gear designed for the specific type of diving conditions.
