Hi,
I just purchased a USIA dry suit with latex seals. I dove with it once without trimming but the neck seal was very tight and I ended up with abrasions on both sides of my neck. I have stretched the neck seal over a glass jar and then trimmed one ring off. Wrist seals seem fine. Walked around the house with it ( ) and although the neck seal was still tight, this is probably what it should be like. However, I was trying to figure out how high or low the seal should sit for it to be comfortable and have enough surface to seal. It seems most guys (I am a guy) tend to wear their latex seal below the Adam's apple, but it appears this doesn't leave a whole lot of surface for the neck seal to seal...
Can you tell me how high or low you wear the latex neck seal? Any recommendations?
Thanks!
