Q. Can I use DUI Silicone ZipSeals on my other brand of drysuit? A. No – DUI Silicone ZipSeals can only be used on DUI drysuits fitted with DUI ZipRings Q. Do I trim the DUI Silicone ZipSeals the same as I trim the latex ZipSeals? A. No – we added more trim lines. Please use the DUI Silicone Seal Trimming Guide below. The more rings you have on the seal, the tighter it will be. Start counting at the base of the seal. The largest ring will be 1.
Q. Silicone seals seem to attract dirt more easily. How can I clean them? A. The silicone is softer making the seals easier to get dirty. Use a mild soap and water mixture and wipe them with a soft cloth. Q. Can I use my glove ring system with silicone ZipSeals? A. No. DUI does not recommend using any glove ring system as it will tear the seals. If you have any questions, please contact the DUI Customer Support Team at
