Insert your left hand and arm into the left arm of your SROB.
Pull the left shoulder of your SROB fully over your left shoulder,
extending your left arm down into the sleeve and to the wrist
seal. Hold your straightened fingers together so that they form
one single unit pushing through the wrist seal. As your fingers
emerge through the wrist seal, open your fingers and continue
pushing and working your fingers, then your hand, and finally your
wrist through the wrist seal opening and into the proper position.
The sealing area of the wrists seal should be at or just above
your wrist bone. Make sure the wrist seal lays flat on your
wrist.
Raise both arms high above your head pulling the SROB up again to
reset the crotch.
Repeat the sleeve entry process for the right sleeve. Again, pull
Your SROB up and reset the crotch.
Insert four fingers from each of your hands, spread widely apart,
into the top of the circular opening of the neck seal. Stretch
the neck seal carefully open and down over your head and onto your
neck. The neck seal lays flat on the neck with its upper edge
slightly below your chin level. Adjust the neck seal up or down
for comfort and improved sealing. Work out any wrinkles or folds
in the neck seal. Zip the Neck Wrap closed.
Neck seal adjustment is discussed in the Maintenance Section of
this SROB Manual.
Use your left hand to hold the SROB fabric and entry zipper of the
SROB above your left shoulder. Slowly pull the zipper slider,
with your right hand, along the line of the zipper, as parallel to
the teeth as practical. After your zipper is closed, give the
slider one final pull to make sure it is fully closed. Fold the
zipper cover down over the zipper and attach the Velcro to Velcro
to secure it.
You now are watertight, but your SROB is probably full of air.
You need to burp your SROB. Stand straight up with one finger
from each hand in the opening of the neck seal, pulling it
slightly off of the neck. Squat slowly, with your elbows pressing
tightly against your sides. You will feel and hear the extra air
rushing out through the neck seal opening.
When the air has stopped flowing out, remove your fingers from the
neck seal, allowing the seal to return to its sealed position
against your neck. Stand up. You are now burped and vacuum
packed. You may remove additional air by repeating this burping
process. If you feel a little too squeezed, you may add a little
