I first got my CF200 almost 3 years ago.  The neck seal fit perfectly,
uncut.  I had to cut the wrist seals, though.  You need a really sharp
scissors for doing this so you will get a clean cut.

I had a friend of mine cut the wrist seal one ring at a time.  After each
individual ring was cut off, I would slide my hand back through the seal.
If it was still too tight, he would cut off another ring.  When cutting off
the ring, he held the seal flat, and cut straight across.  We stopped when
the seal was snug, but not tight.  When I say "ring" I am referring to
the molded rings in the rubber of the seal, which are there to help you
cut the seal straight.  You must be very careful when you do this - if
you screw up, you must replace the seal.

Hope this helps -
