Waterproof Silicone Heavy Duty Wrist Seals (Pair) - Standard

Waterproof Silicone Heavy Duty Wrist Seals (Pair) - Standard. If you love the Waterproof Silicone Wrist Seals or even the idea of them, but need something that is even more durable for rugged dives, then the HD Silicone Seal from Waterproof is your answer. Coming with all the features of the normal silicone seals but with a little less stretch, these heavy-duty seals offer enhanced resistance to tears.

The Waterproof Heavy Duty Silicone Wrist Seals are designed to provide an alternative to latex seals which are prone to tearing and ripping and deterioration over time due to exposure to UV and Ozone exposure. The high-grade silicone used in these seals is stretchier than latex seals and offers 100% protection against UV and Ozone radiation. These HD Seals offer that same level of protection against radiation while also providing enhanced protection against ripping in the standard silicone seals.

The Waterproof HD Silicone Wrist Seal is perfect for those who are looking to upgrade their latex suit seals to silicone wrist seals but want something extra durable. These heavy-duty seals do have less flexibility than standard silicone wrist seals but that extra durability means that they are better equipped to take on wear and tear. They are extremely quick and easy to attach and would be perfect for divers who like their seals to last their more rugged trips.

* Please note that glue will not stick to silicone, you must have a ring system fitted. If you need these rings fitted on your suit you will need the Waterproof Silicone Wrist Seal Kit.

Friendly advice regarding the usage of Silicone Seals from Waterproof

Waterproof's Silicone Seals are revolutionising drysuit diving. They have superior resistance against heat, ozone, sun, aging and chemicals, but still require care.

Stretch
Yes, they stretch more than latex, and it is fun to show friends how amazing they are, BUT all material has a limit when it can rip or tear — so can your Silicone Seals. Just because you can stretch them does not mean you should. You only have to stretch it over your head, or hand, no need to include your whole family.

Abrasion
The Silicone Seals do well on abrasion tests but can be damaged when impacted or when the seals come in contact with sharp edges. Please be careful with nails, rings, earrings and other sharp objects. Also, take care to avoid dropping lead weights or tanks on them and avoid stepping on the seals.

Ripped Seals
Issues with ripped seals can appear due to sharp edges on the ring systems. This is mostly related to worn-out rings or carelessly polished moulds. Please be sure that the ring systems you use to mount the seals have smooth edges, if not, sand and polish the edges for your own benefit.

Trimming Seals
Make sure you use sharp scissors. The easiest way to achieve an even trim line is to make long cuts with the scissors. Rounded waves on the edge are OK, however, the "knicks" or "jagged" edges should be avoided. A cut in the edge will cause the Silicone Seal to rip easily.
