I just received my silicone neck seal today. Cut it two rings bigger than the recommended size as indicated in the instructions, tried it on and it was a little too tight. I removed the seal and carefully cut one more ring off, wore it for about ten minutes to make sure I could live with it. I then slid four fingers under the seal on each side to stretch it back over my head and... rip. Brand new zip seal is trashed. I loved this seal for the 10 minutes that it was functional and would gladly buy another if I can make it work, but if these seals rip that easy they are just not going to work for me. Has anyone else had a similar experience? I have well over 100 dives on my current latex neck zip seal with not one issue. The DUI website says:
Easy to put on and take off due to excellent stretch and slick coating applied to the inside of the seal
but later goes on to mention how much easier silicone tears. Am I the only one having this problem? Did I just get a bad seal? I did find it a bit concerning how easy it was to push my finger through and tear the top section that was initially cut off the new seal..
