Hi Steve, If the seals are anywhere close to reasonable, I suggest you try the suit on for several hours in your living room before you even consider trimming the seals. You may possibly find, as I did with my TLS-350, that the seals may not need nearly as much trimming as you first thought was required (or possibly none at all). On the other hand, if you can't seem to get enough air or your hands start turning blue, then that might be a pretty reliable indication to trim a little bit off of the seals and try the suit on again. A second piece of advice that I've found worth while is that no matter how convenient you may think it might be, never trim the seals with a razor knife or other really sharp blade while you are wearing the suit. :-)) The sticky red stuff may really tend to gook up the seals when it clots. Take care and dive safe, Scott Some weeks it's just not worth the effort to gnaw through the restraints and scramble up out of the pit.

Any advise you might have on how much to trim the wrist and neck seal so it doesn't leak or cut off circulation would be helpful, thanks in advance.
