The CCS came from our work with SWIFT water rescue teams. They were looking for a drysuit that allows users to open the neck seal to regulate body temperature while working long days in warm flood rescue regions. The CCS system also provides easier donning and doffing (getting in and out of) due to its adjustability.<\/p>\n<p>In combination with our CCS neck system, we use robust neoprene for exceptional comfort at the wrists. Using neoprene allows us to spread the seal pressure over a larger surface area without discomfort and with the added benefit of thermal protection.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seawayclothing.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/MSD250_291_product-image_6_5_1024x1024.jpg.webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.seawayclothing.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/MSD250_291_product-image_6_5_1024x1024.jpg-1024x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"895\" height=\"895\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>CCS Pros:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Easier to don (put on) the suit<\/li>\n<li>Able to vent and control your temperature when not submerged<\/li>\n<li>Customizable neck closure allows more comfort when not submerged<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>CCS Considerations:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>May not seal adequately on users who have smaller neck circumferences (latex would be a better choice)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seawayclothing.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/MSD250_291_product-image_1_1_1024x1024..gif\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.seawayclothing.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/MSD250_291_product-image_1_1_1024x1024..gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"803\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b><br \/>\nWhich seal is for you?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The CCS neck seal is the most comfortable option, but some end users prefer the security and simplicity of the no-fuss, efficient, tight latex seals.
