Question Rolock 90 cuff system with seaskin nova

[JoeTPhilly]

The method in the video seems to work well but you have to really press down hard so the top of the ring pops up a bit so you can pull on it. I used a tool before and it ruined a seal.

Jumping into this a little late but was wondering if anyone has used latex wrist seal with this system. I currently use latex with my QCS system but I am getting ready to go to dry gloves. Can’t seem to beat the wrist seal leakage.

Are the veins / muscles on your wrist pronounced?

I've only ever used silicone seals, but it's kind of a moot point if you're diving dry. The glove will keep anything from leaking.

I would say they are a little pronounced but I have tried both latex and silicone I even tried the Apollo seals with no luck. My base layer is usually damp down to my waist after a 2-3 hour dive. So I am looking at the rolock system with showa 720 gloves.

That it what I use, but I don't ever really dive water that doesn't need dry gloves and thick liners. I have my wrist seals cut all the way back (so essentially there is no seal). Zero leaks unless I get a pinhole in my glove which isn't really an issue.

Honestly, I'm having the same problem. With my Rolocks and glove rings I'm dry as a bone. For shallower dives this time of year, wet gloves or no gloves is a real option, but even if I use brand new wrist seals at full length, even if I make sure they lay flat on my wrist, even carefully loaded into either oval wrings or rolock wrings, I still get real leakage, I'm assuming around my wrist tendons.

Anyone had luck with the bioseal wristbands or using neoprene seal greys for diving with wet hands and dry arms?

When making a fist , the wrist tendon does get a little pronounced:

You guys already made me swear off underwater knife fights, do I gotta quit aqua boxing too?

I tried a seal grey for my neck with an older neoprene suit. I measured multiple times and when I tried to put it on it popped at the seam. It's the only thing I've ever gotten from Seaskin that seemed like junk. Maybe I got a bad one, Idk.

Want to see a cool underwater knife fight? I always thought Bryan (RIP Bryan) did an awesome job on his website.

Thanks, I just requested a sample from Showa! I don’t really need dry gloves where I dive either but I move to colder water next summer and the leakage I get now is driving me nuts. So I figured I should start diving with them to hopefully stop the small leakage but also get used to using them.

I tried the bio seal and it didn’t work for me. A little bummed as they were like $80.

Yeah, my grey seal was like $11.. I just chalked it up to live and learn
