I'm considering a drysuit that has a neoprene neck seal but don't know anyone that dives with one ....Any thoughts or opinions you might want to share??

Warm, comfortable, long-lasting and field reparable.

If they didn't exist, I'd probably have never bought a drysuit. Comfortable comfortable comfortable.

Warmer than a latex Neck seal, much more robust. As they stretch they can leak, can be bl**dy tight when new!!! I prefer them to latex seals.
I agree with all of the positive comments made.
The only catch that I hear of from time to time is compression. If you have a marginal fit and dive deep the seal material will compress and may leak. If you have a good nominal fit you should be fine.

As said Durable,Warm,and seal great! a latex can and will tear on a dive but can be repaired with some tape.But neoprene is such a great seal and when I replace neck seals I have a guy that custom makes them and darn I get great fits!
Good luck and remember to roll / tuck about a 1" around your neck seal in around your neck so the seal will not burp!
No need for a dry suit in Florida,,
have a great trip diving Pompano Beach,
South Florida divers runs just a bit north to some ok reef's and wrecks but one day get up to Boynton Beach! Dive with Kevin Underwater Explorers you will see the difference Big time!
