In the case of the Viking system (which is the only one that works, DUI now markets the identical system, but with a permanently attached glove that, IMHO does not cut it) there is a two part ring. A hard PVC inner and a flexible outer ring that is, in cross section, shaped like half of the arrow on a one way sign. The wrist seal is attached to the suit. The inner ring is pushed into the sleeve to where the wrist seal meets the suit. The outer ring is pushed over the inner ring and it "clicks" into place. You don the suit as usual. You pull on some insulating gloves and a pair of water proof gloves on top. The water proof gloves have a roll at the cuff of about 1/2" that is pulled up over the notch in the outer ring and forms a seal. That's all there is too it. If you need someone to install a set a good price call Nesbitinni Dry Suits at (408)429-6853. There's a local company here in Santa Cruz that has all the parts in stock and does great work.
