Review Seaskin Nova drysuit

[rob.mwpropane]

This is the way to go. Razor blade. Seal around a 2l bottle. Do the complete cut in one go, if possible.

If it's a 2l bottle, it needs to be full/sealed, so it doesn't push in while you do it.

But, be very careful, because a suitably sharp razor blade will also easily puncture a plastic 2l bottle and spray soda everywhere. Ask me how I know. Okay. Don't ask. You already know.

Maybe use an Al 40 next time?

I tried scalpel/razor blade with my first suit and latex seal. Ended in tears, 4 days before dive trip. Required 2 250 kms each way trips. Scissors FTW.

User replaceable seals FTW.

FIFY

True, but we are talking about trimming here.
BTW, I don't know who asked about Sitech tool, but I don't even use it to change neck seal, just use my thumbs to push the ring in.

Just a heads up. I got a message that Seaskin does not have the Rolock 90 kits in stock and has issued a refund. If I can get them here at DGX, I wonder why SS can’t keep them in stock?

Wow, they have skyrocketed in price from just last year!

Sounds like a prefect opportunity to swap to Kubi which they do have in stock...

How do Kubis's compare price wise?

New pricing on R90's puts them at $200!

For suit and glove side the combo is now about $370... damn they went up a lot. I think it was near $250 when I bought mine in '22

My R90's were $139 when ordered in 09/22. That's a 34% price hike, that sucks
