Scuba Gear Customer Review: H2O 2mm Max Lycra Backed Webbed Gloves - $17.95

Posted 11/17/2009 2:34:06 AM in Scuba Gear Reviews

Rating:H2O 2mm Max Lycra Backed Webbed Gloves H20 Max Lycra/neoprene webbed gloves

These gloves work surprisingly well for paddling out. I live where the water is pretty cold, and these gloves are definitely not going to cut it for winter conditions, but I can see myself using them again in the spring. Ive only used them a couple of times, but the increased drag (a good thing) was definitely noticeable. The palms grip nicely on my rails as well. Great product for the money.

Scuba Gear Customer Review: Henderson 3mm Insta Dry Jumpsuit - $189.95

Posted 11/16/2009 11:10:25 PM in Scuba Gear Reviews

Rating:Henderson 3mm Insta Dry Jumpsuit A great wetsuit if you put the effort in up front

As other users noted, this wetsuit is fairly hard to get on the first couple of times. Now that Ive been in and out of it 5 times or so, I find it much easier to don & doff, which I think is a combination of the suit "sizing" itsself as well as me improving my technique. The suit is showing good durability so far in the first few dives, and I have had zero problems with warmth, range of motion, or water intrusion. The zippered ankles make a big difference in ease of donning, as well as allowing some thermal fine tuning. The InstaDry technology seems to live up to its name. Within 15 minutes the major areas of the suit are completely dry. Water runs off of it like a freshly waxed car. But I find that the beading around the ankles still stays damp about as long as my wifes regular 3mm neo wetsuit.
