Looking for some guidance on wrist seal replacement and dry glove rings.

Have a Bare Tech Trilam suit with aftermarket Rolock 3 cuffs that I installed on the latex seals. Was a huge pain to install. I think the suit-side ring is just a little too big for the suit. When installing I definitely stressed out the wrist seals. After a few years of use, I'm seeing some cracking in the latex and know a replacement is on the horizon. I dread reinstalling that ring and realize it would be a bad idea. That said, love the Rolock system! Once installed, so easy and secure to use.

Options, I think - glue in a permanent suit-side cuff ring or go latex seals with a ring-system to attach. If I go that direction I think I need a smaller ring, which would lead me toward a sized Kubi, Thenar or perhaps a flexible ring system. Hate to move from the Rolock, but alas.

Any thoughts or things I'm missing?

Thanks.
 
1. Remove the latex seals and glue in si tech QCS suit rings. 2. Buy Rolock 90s and enjoy perfection ;)
If I had a suit with a lot of life left in it, but glued latex wrist seals, this is exactly what I would do as well. If it was also getting to the point of needing a new neck seal and a zipper too, I might bail and get a new one with QCS suit rings and a Quick Neck installed factory.
