Yeah, itās been a tough decision. I found a used Waterproof D7X Nylotech in my size, but it would cost me about the same amount as a Seaskin with all the bells and whistles. The benefit is that there is no wait, and I have some room to fluctuate in body shape and mass, the downside is that its not a new Seaskin.I would consider building enough muscle (or losing enough weight) to substantially change suit fit a big enough accomplishment to justify the cost of having the suit altered. Get the suit that fits you now, and when/if you need it changed get it modified.
The short answer is yes. You can use latex seals with the Si-Tech oval rings. You'll install latex seals the same way as you would silicone seals, but you won't have a handy-dandy ridge on the seal that will fit nicely into the ring system's grooves and hold the seal in place.Ok, I have been searching everywhere for this answer. I ordered the seaskin with the si-tech oval ring system with silicone wrist seals. If I wanted to try out latex wrist seals, is this possible. The si-tech website says it is compatible with both, but when I search for their latex wrist seals they say for glued in. Thanks in advance. Totally new to dry diving.
That being said, I don't see the point of using latex when you can use silicone. I've used both, and I find silicone seals to be far superior in every respect. YMMV.
Well, not just "any", but yes the same latex seals that go in a quick cuff can also work with glue-in. These are the wrist seals Sitech makes that work with QCS Oval, but I think they are just their standard "bottle" shaped latex seals and work for both applications:Thanks for the responses, I was thinking of trying both types for the seal to see which one I preferred. Can you use just any latex wrist seal for the si-tech?
I only lightly lube with silicone on the docking end and I donāt do it very often. I store and transport with the zip closed just short of docking.I received my suit today and have some questions that are answered differently throughout this thread.
1. Plastic dry zip, how to lube, what to use and where to put it. Sounds like just the docking end.
2. How to store? Should the dry zip be fully closed, open or partial?
Thanks!
