The Waterproof Silicone Bottleneck Wrist Seal is a slimline wrist seal with a more streamlined bottleneck shape. This seal is more suited for use with the Waterproof Antares Dry Glove System and works to make the fit of the seal more comfortable on the wrist. The bottleneck shape means that the seal is more streamline on the wrist to allow for a better seal for the dry glove and also allowing more space for the inner dry glove. The Bottleneck Wrist Seals comes as a pair.
The Waterproof Silicone Bottleneck Wrist Seal is perfect for divers who are looking for a more streamlined design in their wrist seal with great comfort. This seal is more suited for the equally streamline Waterproof Antares Dry Glove System and would be best suited for divers who want a seal to be effective while feeling like a natural component of their suit.

Friendly advice regarding the usage of Silicone Seals from Waterproof
Waterproof's Silicone Seals are revolutionising drysuit diving. They have superior resistance against heat, ozone, sun,
aging and chemicals, but still require care.
Stretch
Yes, they stretch more than latex, and it is fun to show friends how amazing they are, BUT all material has a limit
when it can rip or tear — so can your Silicone Seals. Just because you can stretch them does not mean you should. You
only have to stretch it over your head, or hand, no need to include your whole family.
Abrasion
The Silicone Seals do well on abrasion tests but can be damaged when impacted or when the seals come in contact
with sharp edges. Please be careful with nails, rings, earrings and other sharp objects. Also, take care to avoid dropping
lead weights or tanks on them and avoid stepping on the seals.
Ripped Seals
Issues with ripped seals can appear due to sharp edges on the ring systems. This is mostly related to worn-out rings or
carelessly polished moulds. Please be sure that the ring systems you use to mount the seals have smooth edges, if not,
sand and polish the edges for your own benefit.
Trimming Seals
Make sure you use sharp scissors. The easiest way to achieve an even trim line is to make long cuts with the scissors.
Rounded waves on the edge are OK, however, the "knicks" or "jagged" edges should be avoided. A cut in the edge will
cause the Silicone Seal to rip easily.
