Default Dry Suit Seals: Observation

I'm about to run out of 303 and have been obsessing lately about 303 vs McNett's
UV-Tech - since I hose down my seals with 303 fairly religiously and the folks
at OS Systems tout UV-Tech like it's almost essential to keep the seals going
for any reasonable length of time.

Happened to stop by a local dive shop today - to pick up a wet suit that needed
taking in.

Seeing maybe fifty rental dry suits hanging up in the shop, I asked the guy
there what kind of life he gets out of a set of seals and what they do to
mitigate wear.

The reply was "at least five years" and "nothing except rinse in plain water".


Hmmmm......
