Dry Suit Seal Fitting

[Kennyscot]

Got the new dry suit. I'm new to the neo neck seals. How tight should they be. Tight enough to keep water out and loose enough to keep from turning purple and being able to breathe. Any basic rules on neo neck seals. I can put my head through but its pretty darn tight, then with the folding under, wow!!

Now with that said....same thing about latex wrist seals........How tight should they really be. I carefully put them on and know they need to be trimmed some...but at what point do you stop trimming..when it feels like???

Thanks for all the help

neo neck seal should feel snug once folded over..a little too tight now is ok for it is new..can stretch a bit over a tank left overnight..wrist seals tight but not so tight to restrict circulation..

Stretch it over a tank, sound like alot of trial amd error, but thats ok, just want to do the right thing
