Question Rolock 90 cuff system with seaskin nova

[inquis]

Anyone had luck with the bioseal wristbands

I borrowed a pair that helped a fair bit, but not 100%. I'll probably try the cheaper Seaskin option at some point, but the Apollos are too pricey for being less than excellent (for my wrists).

I've dove Rolocks with latex, silicone and no seals at all. Only time I've gotten damp is when I've let the wrist of the showa glove get caught in the oring area. Now I just cut them far enough back for that to not be possible.

I've been on about 4 dives with my Rolocks, and I'm struggling a little bit with putting them on and taking them off. I know I'm supposed to be able to just turn my wrist and it will lock into place or unlock, but its not as easy as I think it should be. I applied some of the silicon grease to them to try and improve it, but still a bit hard. I tried to just leave them attached while donning the suit, that worked, but then I have to get my head through the neck, and get my hood on and my mask on, and that is a bit hard with the gloves on. Would be better if I could put the gloves on last, but that is a bit difficult.

Try shortening the gloves in the rings. Also, pull your hand back toward the ring so the torque is more focused.

This. Make a fist, pull back while the other hand pushes the suit ring, and twist. Don't skimp on the lube until you get the technique down; it's common to relax the fist, which no longer compresses the o-ring.

Easiest tool for getting the QCS out is a plastic bicycle tire spoon. I keep one in my dive kit.

Same way I did mine.
