DUI neck Zipseal?

Post by Linedog »

I have a new to me Harvey's drysuit with neoprene wrist and neck seals. I love the wrist seals but would rather have a latex neck seal. Is there a way I can attach the DUI zipseal system to the Harvey's? Anyone have a zipseal that might have more insite? Oh by the way, I have an XXL melon for a head, took me 5 masks until I found one that fit.

I don't see why you couldn't - the zipseal ring is installed into the DUI crushed neoprene suit. However, considering your impressively large noggin, I'd try to get ahold of a used zipseal/ring and make sure you can get it on. I've heard it's a valid concern.

I think my first step should be to see if my empty oversized cranium will comfortably squeeze the ring. Now to find a DUI dealer that has one in stock.

I think I've got an old ring with a torn seal somewhere around here that you could try. Just need to figure out a time to meet up. That, and some significant digging in the ol' dive locker...

Hey FYI DUI has a Gen 2 neck seal which is bigger than the Generation 1. DUI also retrofits most other drysuits with this system now as well.
