Neck seal.. in our out?

[jonnythan]

If you have a drysuit with a latex neck seal... do you wear the neck seal so it's folded back in, or just normal?

Mine seems dry both ways... folding it back in keeps my hair out of it, and would seen to keep it drier if my suit were inflated. Also makes pulling the neck seal easier in an emergency.

Having it out makes it less of a hassle to put on, and maybe less likely to leak if you keep your suit squeezing you a little.

neoprene=fold
latex=don't fold

Folks are built differently, what works for one may not work for another.
Folding in allows you to have a looser fit while still maintaining watertight, or air tight integrity. If you get a big bubble in your suit it can burp out the neck if it's straight, same bubble will clamp off the seal if folded down.
I wear all mine folded down. Don't have a neck though.

...to leave it straight.

Big Bubble??

I don't need no stinking bubble!
