Dry Gloves
I have just got me a complete Ro-lock dryglove system from ebay, now I am thinking it might have been a bad idea.
I have a good idea how these fit, however I am worried about damage that it may cause to my wrist seals on my drysuit. The suit I have is an Otter Britannic with HD latex seals.

Has anyone had any good/bad experiences with this system?

I have a similar system and I set it up without an internal suit seal. After about a year of fairly heavy use, the wrist seal has been stretched and worn to the point where there's no going back. I think you just have to accept this.

Precisely. They are not designewd to be taken on and off.

Put them on and leave them alone, and they will be fine. Muck about with them and they will destroy the wrist seals.

I have been using the RoLock rings for a year now.

Love 'em - leave the suit rings in place - if you dive without dry gloves, just leave the gloves off.

Are they the blue ones to match your new suit?

Smile drygloves
As per Garf

Put them on and leave them on. Once in place they are best left alone. Spare gloves can be sourced from bakers dozen.

Only thing I would recommend is seal protectors - they cover the latex seal between the suit and the ring and as Garf and Gloc maybe able to confirm this area is a little prone to damage- hence the need for the protectors.

Once you have tried drygloves then you won't look back.

R u sure they are Rolocks off ebay??
