Which type of gloves can be paired with a dry suit?

The appropriate gloves to pair with a dry suit are wet suit gloves. Wet suit gloves are designed to provide thermal insulation and maintain flexibility while allowing for some water exchange. When a diver is wearing a dry suit, the intention is to keep them dry while still managing temperature, which wet suit gloves achieve. They offer warmth and protection, essential for underwater activities, while fitting well with the dry suit's sealing systems, ensuring a good balance between thermal insulation and dexterity.

Other glove types, such as diving gloves, might not be suitable due to their construction designed for direct exposure to water and varying insulation properties that could compromise the suit's integrity. Wool gloves are not waterproof, allowing for water penetration, which defeats the purpose of using a dry suit. Similarly, leather gloves may not provide adequate thermal insulation in cold water conditions and could hinder mobility or seal properly around the dry suit wrists.
