The Halcyon Tech Gloves are 3mm fingerless neoprene gloves built for divers who need their fingertips free to work, but still want something protecting the backs and palms of their hands from rock, wreck and line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eThe detail we like most is the pocket on the back of each glove.

These flip that order. If your diving involves line work, whether that's cave diving in Mexico or Florida, wreck penetration in the Red Sea, or running drills on a cavern or wreck course, the thing that slows you down is usually your gloves, not the cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eCutting the fingers off a cheap pair of gloves gets you halfway there, but you lose the marker pocket and the reinforced palm, and they tend to fall apart after a few trips. The Halcyon version is purpose-built, so the cut edges, fit and palm material are designed for the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eIn our experience, these are the gloves tech divers pack for warm water trips and leave on for every dive.

You won't get the marker pocket, the textured palm or a clean cut edge, and DIY versions usually start fraying within a trip or two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n      \u003ch3\u003e\"Do they really run small?\"\u003c\/h3\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eYes. Halcyon say so themselves, and that matches what we've seen. Measure your palm and if you're between sizes, size up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n      \u003ch3\u003e\"Can I wear them with dry gloves?\"\u003c\/h3\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eThey're not designed as a liner, and the neoprene adds bulk inside a dry glove. If you're diving dry gloves, use a proper thermal liner instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/section\u003e\n\n    \u003ch3\u003eCan I fit directional arrows in the pocket?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe pocket is sized for non-directional markers (cookies). Arrows are a different shape and won't sit as securely, so carry those elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch3\u003eAre these suitable for cave courses?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eFor warm water cave and cavern training, yes, and plenty of divers wear them for exactly that. Check with your instructor about any glove requirements for your specific course.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch3\u003eHow should I wash them?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eRinse in fresh water after each dive and let them air dry out of direct sunlight.
