    NO NO NO NO NO! Well I guess yes. You can roll the sleeves up and put the gloves on that way. But it's much easier this way....
    1) put suit on up to waist
    2) put one glove on.
    3) put a plastic bag over your gloves hand
    4) slide the sleeve on, take bag off your hand
    5) repeat for other hand

    Much easier than rolling your sleeve up.

    I only roll them up an inch or so BM. Not like up fast the forearm or anything. I give it a lil tight roll at the wrist and works out well. Threading the needle with limbs and plastics bags through suits, that sounds involved! Lol

    Try it man. I actually do both. But the plastic bag is so much easier. Arms slip right through the sleeve, no bunching up.

    And I apologize for my "NO NO NO NO NO!".... overreacted just a tad haha

    I am in the market for new boots and this thread caught my eye.... I have worn out my 5mils and need another pair... I have been wearing these as my only pair throughout the year. I surf NJ/OCMD. Am I cray cray or is this normal?
