DO you need the red fliter to use under water? DO the buttons work ok with gloves on?

Hi Mr. Stevens,For better videos and photos, it is recommended to use a red filter at depths below 25/30 feet in order to bring the warm colors back. You should be able to press the buttons on the Sport HD camera even with gloves on.Thanks,William

No gloves are needed. Just pour the tabs in your skimmer. You'll never have to touch them.

I took mine snorkeling and it worked fine. You have to make sure that the camera is positioned properly, and there is difficulty adjusting the buttons. But I got some great pics with it. Above water, you have to watch out for water drops on the front of the lens case. the camera will try to focus on those.

I can tell you that these gloves are pretty water resilient. I wouldn't submerge your hand in any chemical compound, with these are any gloves but if you do get some chemical on them, I would try to get the chemical off quickly. I'm not sure it would cause great damage to the glove or you so don't do anything too extreme.

They should work just fine, they are water proof as advertised. They are also made for tough work, the fingers have leather protecting from ware n tear and outer is a stretch material for easy movement. They are suppose to keep hands warm unfortunately like all gloves fingers will get cold!!

There are no specialized areas for the buttons. You have to push through the case. The touch screen does not work well under water. I just used the side button to take a picture under water.

yes you can use the camera under water. there is a gel filled screen protector that allows you to use your touch screen and your volume buttons can still be used to snap pics as well. i dint dive with it but did climb a waterfall and hang out on a beach during a tropical storm. it took nice pics and vids and kept my iphone dry. i'd contact drisuit to see what depth its rated for if your gonna dive with it. http://www.mydrisuit.com/

You can use all buttons but this case is bulky and fogs in the water. I ended up just getting a life proof case instead which I found better.

It doesn't cover the button at all. There's a hole there for the button to be accessed. If your finger is a little wet, I can't see that doing damage.

my son has washed his hands with it on with no issues, I wouldn't swim with it, but a little water on it doesn't seem to be an issue

Yes, All Buttons Are Easily Accessible . I don't Believe There Is Any Warranty Protection. Prior The Purchase, I Saw A .Whatever Review About Casing Leaks. I've Never Had That Problem, How've Before Each Use I Do Submerge The Casing Underwater To Assess For leaks. I've Used The Casing For At Least 4 Years For Primarily Snorkeling In The Pacific Ocean Several Times A Years. ThE Pictures Are Great. Oh, Be Aware The Viewing Scratches Very Easily But This Hasn't Impacted The Quality Of My Pictures.Good Luck! Hope I Answered Your Question.

I've never used one but I bought mine for rowing my dinghy. They are really nice gloves, I'm really happy with them.

It is water resistant. It says to do not press button under water maintain residency, it does not say in the manual ok to use for lap swimming. Or h20 resistant at any depth of water. So I would not use it for lap swimming. Good question because originally I was given the impression that I could use it in the pool. Here is Polar's contact info if anyone would like to have it, 800-227-1314 or polarusa.com

These gloves will definitely keep you hands dry and warm. If you need to take your gloves on and off I would not recommend these. They are a snug fit which they are suppose to be- they would not be easy to take on and off. Also, if you need to have total movement during lobster fishing these gloves are a bit thick to give your fingers free movement- a bit stiff. I use them to feed and water horses in the winter months, they work well for that purpose.

Yes! I used it while out on a boat, everything works perfect. It is a very snug fit though, you have to feel around for the buttons on the side.

I never submerged my hands past the cuff, but I'm sure if you secured the end with some kind of waterproof tape, it would work. In the winter, I clean and fill horse water buckets, a water trough, and chicken water containers daily - my hands get pretty wet; I have used these gloves through the whole winter and the inside of the gloves never became damp. I am very happy with them.
