I purchased a new (to me) 30/30 show model earlier in the year. Looks great. The wrist seals were pre-cut for show use, as was the neck, but it was too big and DUI replaced that for me without issue. My dive shop helped me out with with cutting the neck right for me and said the wrist seals looked good without replacing so I left those as they were.
Get in the water, do my dive and I feel great in the water. When I get back my arms are wet, maybe a bit of moisture on my chest as well. Not soaking mind you, just obviously moist. Legs are bone dry.
I think this means I have a slight leak at my wrists (both arms wet), but then again it could be sweat. Maybe it is my wrists have tendons that are too proud, or maybe the seals are a bit loose since I have tiny wrists, though I am not sure? (un)fortunately I do my diving in warmer water, since I am chilled even after doing a few 82 degree dives. I cannot feel any water coming in the suit at any point though, just not enough of a temperature differential to say "hey, my arm is getting cold".
Anyone have a good way to check on shore? I tried to push the sleeves up a bit so the seals ride higher on my arms, but it just gets pushed back down because of the fabric.
I'm still new to the whole drysuit thing, so this might just be something you figure out with experience but any help would be very appreciated.
