Sitech oval ring issues

[Arkman]

My dive buddy has a suit that has the oval ring system from sitech. I believe he uses the "standard" blue gloves from dive rite in Scuba. He has a heck of a time getting those little tabs to click in place every time we dive. Sometimes one glove sometimes the other, or sometimes both.

Anyone have any suggestions on what we can do to make this not a 20 min process?

replace with ultima or rolock, antares is pretty much universally disliked

I get they are not ideal but it's not in the cards to replace them at this point.

What is your time and lack of frustration worth?

ETA: sorry I don't have anything concrete to help

the ovals suck, the only known / reliable solution is to replace them

Antaries work fine, usually. Does he have those red insert things in there to keep the lock path open?

I don't think he does. We'll have to check this out.

Thanks much!

It makes a difference, it also helps to make some index marks when they are clicked in so he can check alignment.

Rolock 90 and never look back.
