I've had my D7 Cordura with ISS for under a year. Two weekends in a row, despite being careful with them, both of the original wrist seals that came with the suit tore when I took the suit off. Fortunately I had spare seals with me!
So my question, is simple: do the silicone seals have a shorter life expectancy than a latex seal? Seems odd that both would tear within a week of each other! I am a bit worried about the neck seal now as it is also the original that came with my suit!
To make it worse, both of the above happened in front of classes I was teaching.
A plus is that I have found that a plastic door trim tool works great for popping the wrist seals out, so it's now living in my spares bag!
Thanks,
