Review on XS Scuba 5mm Dry Five Pyrostretch Dry Gloves: Optimal Protection and Flexibility by Delos Rodeo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I need them for my mission

I've never been a diver but I love scuba tanks. It's less than a foot of water, but MAN might give me some trouble. You see I have eczema on my hands and at worst the skin on my palms and fingertips cracks. The float tank seats are filled with petroleum jelly, and while that helps, it wears away as I swim and it can be difficult to hit every bit of exposed skin. The more I swim, the worse the condition gets. I finally had the brilliant idea that diving gloves could give me enough protection in the aquarium to allow my skin to heal or avoid the irritation it causes. If the heavily salted water touches my irritated skin for even a second, I feel a searing pain. I can't feel anything with gloves on. I'm having trouble putting on both gloves, but usually only one is needed anyway (one hand gets noticeably sore). When I swim, I usually go Monday through Friday, where I spend an hour a day in water that has a higher salt concentration than the Dead Sea. So far I have not experienced any degradation of the gloves. They provide a fantastic barrier between my hands and the water. I am very satisfied with my purchase decision! If/when they start breaking I will order another pair!

Pros
  • good stuff
Cons
  • hard to say
