We have been beta testing DUIsilicone wrist ZipSeals for the last three months with great success. We arewaiting on samples of a final formulation. If everything goes as expected, weshould have these available for sale in 60-90 days. We are also expecting ourfirst samples of silicone neck ZipSeals using the same design changes andformulations of the wrist.
We greatly appreciate the patienceour DUI Owners have shown. While DUI's silicone seals are notably more durablethan anything else on the market, the true innovation comes from the ZipRingdesign and combining the right silicone formulation and durometer to make asecure lock with the existing ZipRing on the drysuit. The technologies used tocreate the silicone seals are not the same as polyurethane. The materials reactdifferently requiring new designs and molds and the testing of multipleformulations of silicone. It's a "trial and error" process. We willrelease these seals when, and only when, we know they are ready.
We will keep our divers updated onour progress on the DUI website and Facebook page.
