Anybody have any info on this? Not looking to buy but I haven't heard of silicone seals so I wouldn't mind hearing others' opinions (or better yet, real experience) of the idea.

Peace,

There's a thread on the British Sub Aqua Club forum where one contributor shares a little personal experience of these Waterproof seals:

I'm always a little suspicious of new untried technologies which promise to sweep away everything in their path. If silicone seals increase choice, fine. If they just end up replacing latex or neoprene seals, you can be sure that silicone as a drysuit seal material will eventually be seen to have liabilities as well as assets.
