SI Tech neck rings anybody used them?

[akscubaduck1]

The neck seal on my Viking dry suit was torn when I got to the dive site today. I would like to install the Si Tech neck ring system, so the next timeI rip a neck seal I can replace it on the dive site. Has anybody had any experince with it. How easy is to install?
Thanks everybody
Terry

There is a video demonstrating ease of install of the latex replacement seal in the link above. Looks to me like it would work well, but I have zero experience with it. Hope to hear good things though, since I am going to be due for a neck seal soon, and am considering installing the ring.

From what Mike at DRIS told me, the system will not ba available till some time in early 2010 (Feb.)
When they do become available I will be having Mike put the system on my DUI suit.

I'm broken hearted if that's true. I've been looking it at that system for a while on the SI Tech site, waiting for the seal to blow before I made the leap. I guess diving this next weekend is out!
Thank you
Terry!

The link to Dive Right In seemed to have them in stock. Sounds like I'll miss new years but what H#%&.
Thanks

Right from the webpage I posted.
"This product will be in stock on Wednesday 10 February, 2010."

Bummer! Have you seen the heat installed neck seal? That is something you could easily do yourself. I have done at least 20+ seals using glue and it is pretty easy.

I have never dove anything but my typhoon with kneck ring and wrist rings. Having the spare seals in your oh ***** box on the boat and saving a dive priceless.

I am seriously considering them. It looks a *little* kludgy for me --- ideally I want a clone of the DUI system without all the hassle that comes along with actually having to pay for and maintain a DUI suit.

But I may give it a go, and consider the wrists too on my new suit....
