Flexible silicone seal mounts

[Nealk]

Hi all,

Last year at DEMA I saw at the Waterproof brand booth some new drysuit models. One had a proprietary silicone seal mount that was incredibly flexible, close to glued latex. It was far more flexible than slaggo rings, and seemed more flexible than zip seals which are the current most flexible that I am aware of. Does anyone, perhaps a dealer, have further info on this seal system, what it is called, and when it might be coming to market? I tried reaching out to them directly and never got a real response. I'm mildly allergic to latex, but hate the bulky ring systems.

Thanks!

No, I don't recall any velcro. They looked closer to the modern dui zip seals, but more streamlined and more flexible.

Those are the same cuffs as I have found on the Waterproof website

How about you

They are definitely different than the picture you sent. On their website I am able to see the flexlock option on the D7 Evo, but those also look different than the ones I saw. There doesn't seem to be any further info about them.

whatever your words actually mean

and I'm sure given their newness and TM they won't be releasing them as a kit anytime soon if at all
