  Subject: Drysuit wrist seals


  I am a fairly thin guy, 6'2" and 150 lbs.  Since I am not padded with =
adipose tissue, the tendons in my forearms and wrists creat havoc with =
the seals on my drysuit.
  =20
  I have tried neoprene seals :-( , tapered latex and the bell style =
latex seals. =20
  =20
  As long as I do not manipulate anything underwater I am fine.  As soon =
as I start moving my fingers or grasping objects, water will migrate =
past the seal. =20
  =20
  So, what have the skinny divers done to deal this???  I know I'm not =
the only one.
