Innovative solution for quick neck seal replacement. Video, Website & Brochure. How can I get one?

I've seen mention in a few posts r/g this and want to ask some questions, drum up more info, reviews, etc. on what looks to me to be a very innovative solution quick neck seal replacement (other than Zip seals, which this thread isn't about )

Some of the things I'm wondering are:

Anyone have a review to offer?

Are there any US Si Tech dealers that carry this system?

Are Silicone neck seals available yet anywhere?

I'm sure I'll think of more, but wanted to pass on the info, and hopefully learn more about this system. Thanks for your input

Note: There's not currently a Si Tech Mfg. presence so the exposure forum felt most appropriate

I am interested in this system for my Fusion when my neck seal gets older. Hopefully I will not need a new seal for a good long time though.

really hoping some bare-branded suits come with this as a standard option. the real potential for me is the chance to upgrade to silicone seals once they become commercially viable & more durable!

Oh, I'm really sorry to hear that the neck ring system isn't comfortable (although I wonder about the way Bob3 installed it, when he heated the system to put a permanent curve over the shoulder) because I've been looking forward to putting it on my suit. I go through latex neck seals like Kleenex, and it would be awfully good to find an alternative. But I am not willing at all to give up the mobility of the Fusion for them.

 

[Dive Right In Scuba]

The one that is NOT comfortable and was reviewed above, is the OLD ring system, that has been available for a long time. The new one that I reviewed, and has the video at the top is the unreleased one....so please don't think they are the same

If anyone thinks otherwise, please come to the shop and try it on. I have one mounted on a Fusion, and NOBODY that has dove it has even known it was on there. I have put customers in the suit to even try on for size, and they had no clue. That test alone, proved to me it was unnoticeable even after my thoughts and dives in it. So rest assured, you will all LOVE it when it is finally released
