Re: Dry Glove Liners
Here is what I think is happening. If you are not venting the gloves to the rest of your body there is no place for the perspiration from your hands to go. Even though it is not much, your hands will perspire. The sweat then chills and is transmitted to your hands.
Here is a simple fix for that. I wear a thin pair of (here is the key) Polypropylene gloves that are long enough to go past you cuff seal. Put these gloves on 1st, Then finish putting your suit on. A side benefit of this is it is easier to slide your hands through the cuff sleeves and it is easier on your wrist seals. You now have venting to the warm air in your suit. Some people use straws to do the same thing, but I could never find the starws and it was uncomfortable. The thin glove is the key as is be sure to use poly gloves. You can wear another pair of gloves (poly)  over the thin ones. I started doing this because I wear 2 rings and they are tough to get off. Consequently I would nick the seals and then have to replace them. Now I go 3-4 years on the same set of wrist seals.
If your hands do get chilly just raise the above your head and warm air will fil the gloves and the hands become warm again.
Try it. I hope this helps.
