OS SYSTEMS designs and owns all of the molds used to dip its LongLife
Latex Seals. LongLife Latex Seals are dipped from only
the best high modulus natural gum latex rubber to maximize memory and longevity.
The latex rubber is surgical grade, with the addition only of black
dye, a minimum amount of ozone inhibitor and a long life sealant.
LongLife Latex Seals are not hypoallergenic, however, each does
undergo a triple leeching process to minimize the protein content.
Protein content is thought to be a contributing factor in some allergic
reactions to rubber.
The minimum thickness specifications for LongLife Latex Seals
are: Standard seals - .026"; Commercial seals - .030".
LongLife Latex Seals are used exclusively in the production
and the repair of OS SYSTEMS' products and can also be used in the repair
and replacement of seals on other companies' drysuits. All our seals come
with a 60 day no fault warranty and are best installed using our own PB-300
glue.
Please consult the SEAL SIZING CHARTS below for the appropriate LongLife
Latex Seals for your suit. Additional information on Seal Care can be found on the maintenance page.
Neck
Seal
"Bellows" seal with a conical, ringed
neck. The rings provide additional water tight integrity by serving
as miniature o-rings against the skin and the taper allows for a more comfortable
fit. The bellows portion allows the user more freedom of movement than
a traditional tapered seal. The thickness has been worked out to be thick
enough to last and thin enough to give a comfortable stretch. Fit 8" diameter
drysuit neck opening.

DV
Boots (Not dipped by OS SYSTEMS)
Rubber drysuit diving boots with heavy duty soles. These feature low profile toes that fit easily in fins, reinforcing for wear areas, fin-keeper heels and easy flex ankles.
NOTE: Any available size of DV-BOOTS can be ordered
with any new drysuit. DV-BOOTS can also be retrofitted on any OS
drysuit, by the factory, by a drysuit repair center, by the dealer, or
even by the diver. All DV-BOOTS come trimmed and prepped, and
have the preliminary layers of PB-300 already adhered so that the DV-BOOTS
are ready to install on the drysuit. This is as easy as installing
latex socks.

Liner). |
