leaking latex neck seals?

[billmackbarnes]

I spoke with a young lady at Peacock Springs over the Thanksgiving holiday about her leaking latex neck seal.

I spoke with my friend who had the same problem with neoprene rental suits. The dive shop in TX had skin in/out neoprene rings (a little over 2" tall) that you put on before the neoprene neck seal to seal against in case the wearer had a really small neck.

My friend went on to say if it was your own suit, to just replace the latex neck seal, because the neoprene ring was not worth the hassle!

I tried the apollo neck seal and all it did was choke me. I found that shaving my upper back where the seal rests worked perfectly for me. But I now have an apollo neck seal I'll never use if anyone wants it. But I hear they can accelerate latex neck seal deterioration...

shaving my upper back

I will have to try that.
And to think how I almost switched to a front entry suit to keep it from being caught in the zipper.

Yeah that hurts! I'm careful with my wetsuit zipper and a front zipper would be just as bad for me...
