Shelton Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Mine the same ugly glue debris. They don't use silicone gasket and bolts... so I can expect the same crap like with Equinox... but for bigger $. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okara gold Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Mine looks the same but will probably be filled with fine silt and sand before long. Planning to get it wet as soon as the waves calm down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Tn Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I didn't even notice until I saw this thread. Mine is much the same. It won't be warm enough to dunk mine until several months from now anyway. I'll worry about it then I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrunt Posted January 16, 2023 Author Share Posted January 16, 2023 I’m no waterproofing expert, it just looked ugly, perhaps it’s perfectly good. I think it’s glue not silicone it’s not soft. I guess we have 3 years to find out, at least this time it’s waterproofing has been independently tested to get its rating, I think that’s how IP ratings work. No point worrying about something that hasn’t happened so at this stage it’s perfectly waterproof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longbow62 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Mine looks the same basically. I'll probably dunk mine in fresh water this summer and see what happens. I've never hunted in the water, but always wanted to try it. I figure it's better to find out sooner rather than later if it's going to leak.

phrunt Posted January 17, 2023 Author Share Posted January 17, 2023 It seems earlier ones have less or none and later ones are more messy. Could be coincidence I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okara gold Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Just completed the Manticores' first 3 hour, saltwater hunt, fully immersed with NO leakage problems at all. I need a thicker wetsuit!! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
