Hi everyone.
Over the last 8 weeks, I've lost about 10 pounds. I'm now down to a reasonably fit 175. I've been biking to work and using a Wii Fit.
I bought my drysuit when I was 190, and now I think the neoprene seals aren't fitting. There's a fair bit of water getting in, and from what I can tell, the valves are in good shape. (I took them apart, checked them out, took them to a dive shop, etc.) The inflator valve's o-rings are in near-perfect condition.
That leaves either pinhole leaks or the seals. The last time I checked, the suit was airtight. With somewhat less padding on the neck, a badly-fitting seals is quite possible.
What can I do to get the seals to fit better? I don't want to buy new seals, as I'm not sure how stable this weight will be once I stop biking. (I drive the kids to daycare during the school year.)
Thank you.
