I'm about to run out of 303 and have been obsessing lately about 303 vs McNett's

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......

That's what I've been doing... And indeed, they last about that long.
Seems like you're paying for something that isn't needed. :-)
