The Whites Fusion is available with the SiTech neck and wrist rings that permit the use of silicone seals. I think you can order the suit with those seals de novo.

Just ordered the Whites Fusion with the SiTech neck and wrists installed from Dive Right In Scuba. They are a factory authorized repair center and will install these for you for $250. Great guys over there, give them a call...

DUI has silicone zip seals in the works. The wrist seals are supposedly almost ready, neck seals are ?.
The SiTech seal rings can be installed on almost any suit.

What is the advantage and disadvantage of silicone over latex or neoprene?
Is silicon as tough as "heavy duty" latex seals?
Silicone is impervious to skin oils and environmental oils which damage latex; it's also not damaged to the same degree by ozone. It's great for people who have a latex allergy. My experience is that the silicone seals are VERY comfortable, as well. (Wish they made 'em in munchkin sizes!)
Reports have varied on their durability.
