Zip seals. I've used both and both are good. The advantage of the SiTech is that you can put on your suit and gear with bare hands then just pop tem on when ready. That said, I use zips for ease of popping on a new glove when one fails. It just comes down to $$$ and personal pref. Both are good choices.

I have the zip gloves and been pretty happy with them, it does take a little getting use to. I am just not a fan of hard ring of the SI system, it seems to get get in the way when I check my valves.

I actually call that feature a bonus! Since we wear such thick undergarments it takes away a lot of flexibility even in a Fusion drysuit. What I do is place the ring behind my head, then tip my head back and my hand lands nicely on the middle valve.
Done deal....ordered the si tech round wrist rings and the tight neck from DRIS. I ordered the dry adhesive tape to do the install on the rings. Has anyone tried the dry tape from DRIS? Any tips on the install?
I would have gone the oval rings - I added a set to a fusion a few weeks ago and you couldnt even tell they were on when in the water!
Si Tech has glove rings to match which are due for release very soon. Visit their facebook page and go back in time on their wall for a couple of pics - they look good!
Mike stepped me through how to use the dry tape to mount the oval rings and it was an absolute no brainer - usual caveat of dont rush the job!
Broke a seal whilst on my last cave trip and swapping it took 5 mins - most of which was finding where I had stashed the spares!
