I haven't tried them yet, but once the neck seals have been available for a while and there is some feedback on them, I definitely intend to put in the neck ring and go to silicone.

With the wrist ones, I've wondered how they would work with dry glove rings.

They work like the kyako or whoever latex wrist seals in the sitech cuffs that're permanently attached, ie you pop out your seals and put the new ones in.

If you've got latex seals glued to your suit, you'll need to get sitech wrings permanently attached and then fit the silicone ones in. I've got a pair on order but I need to go pick them up. $30 cheaper than the latex ones too.

There's two sizes of seals, and they're quite flexible. Installation was pretty easy, no leaks so far but I haven't tried exposing them to the elements outside of a small leak inside my gloves. Summer being that it is, any moisture in my suit could just as easily be sweat.

Did you just do the wrist seals, or did you get the neck one, too? I really haven't seen much feedback from anyone using the neck seals.

Just the wrist seals.

The neck seals can become undone according to Todd.
