I bought these to replace some other 3mm neoprene gloves and I'm glad I did. The mediums fit my normal sized hands well and are warm enough for San Diego's 65 degree water.

Comments about Tusa Tusa Warm Water Glove "New Style" (DG-5500):

This is a follow-up on my 24 Sept 2008 review. (see quotation below) I have been using these gloves for over a year in both tropical and in colder water where dexterity mattered.

Despite some reasonably rough use they are holding up fairly well. I last used then in a River Cleanup project in Lake Oconee last weekend. I was rubbing them back and forth over sand and mud in 20' of water with ~3mm viz (didn't even bother to take a light). The only way to find trash is to run over it with your hands in the pitch black.

I've also used then sifting thru gravel in the Cooper River looking for fossils on about 15 dives and used them in numerous quarries and springs when I had to tie knots.

I've also worn them in the Caribbean when ever local regulations have allowed.

After about 50 dives the edges of the fingers are getting a little worn and frayed but not too badly. After a few dives I could no longer feel the seams at the fingertips I mentioned last year. For the price, I will buy a new pair when the wear out.

"I ordered Mediums and they were too loose. Smalls fit fine but the seams at the finger tips touch. They don't chafe or hurt, I just wish they had been made a bit more flush. Because of the stitching method you cannot trim them without destroying the gloves. The gloves run a half size too large.

Still, all in all, I would buy the gloves again."

Comments about Tusa Tusa Warm Water Glove "New Style" (DG-5500):

I've been using a pair of these for about three years now. They are starting to wear through the finger tips thanks to rough use. I'm ordering another pair today. They fit even the smallest BC pocket, are easy to don/doff thanks to the closure design, dry in a few minutes and are extremely comfortable. The short tailoring of the wrist does not interfere with your wrist watch or computer. The close knitted nylon mesh plus the syntethic suede reinforcements offer very good environmental protection against abrasions and stinging "flora". **NOT FOR WARMTH**

Comments about Tusa Tusa Warm Water Glove "New Style" (DG-5500):

This glove fits on my hand. That is an achievement in itself. I have big hands and can never find a glove to fit. It appears to be slightly warmer than other skin gloves; I used it in 60 degree water where I stayed for about ten minutes and my hands were fine. The fit is off some on the thumbs; which I noticed as soon as I put them on but when in the water it became almost unnoticeable. I used them for only one dive, so I cannot comment on their durability or longevity. They first appear to be a good low priced glove, but suspect by initial inspection that they will not hold real well; this is speculation of course.
