So question about the inside of the inner zipper. I see that the small tab at the bottom that is glued in to keep the bottom of the dock from separating, but it looks pretty flimsy. Has anyone had this rip out at all, or is there any suggested way to reinforce it?

No idea about reinforment, bit it looks very similiar to my One Endurance suit which has 400 dives and no zipper issues (or damage to this one)

I've had the tab rip out on other suits, but not on my old Seaskin, and I used that thing for quite a few years. Perhaps the Seaskin's plastic zipper was the difference?

As for reinforcing the tab, I'd say no. I suspect that anything I tried would end up weakening it.

I recently made my Nova order with SeaSkin and I included the Rolock dry glove system with my purchase. SeaSkin emailed me to let me know that they were unable to get new stock from Rolock and that they would be removing that accessory from their site. The representative was very helpful and suggested I check out drysuitspareparts.com the for Rolock system. I was able to successfully purchase them from that source. I don’t know if there are supply chain issues with Rolock, but SeaSkin will no longer be offering them.

Good find on that site, thanks for sharing. I wonder what the heck is going on with Rolock. That's odd.
