TL700 thin skin longevity - twisty_uk - 05-05-2017
Hi all
I'm thinking of getting the TL700 as my next system but it would be great to know what kind of longevity I can expect from it given it's so thin. Is 6 months ambitious?
Let me know your thoughts, especially if you've had TL700 before.
Many thanks

I consider myself a ‘normal’ wearer since I do light exercise like bike riding--no heavy workouts or swimming, etc. I get 6-9 weeks from a TL 700. The TL 700 is the thinnest skin unit available anywhere and so it doesn’t last as long as other units. Hairline is great! I can attach with only ‘Got 2 Be Glued Spiking Glue’ which is so easy since it cleans up with water.

Many thanks for your feedback John. I was hoping the TL700 might get a bit more life than that but appreciate that it's extremely thin!
May still opt for the TL700, but what other options do Toplace have for a skin base with a realistic hairline. It is possible to have a TL400 with a lace front?
Decisions decisions!
Any thoughts/advice would be appreciated.

Hi Twisty,
The other option for an artificial skin base unit is the TL 400. Still very thin but thicker than the TL 700 so it lasts longer. We can put a lace front on the TL 400 since the TL 400 is stronger--we can’t do that with the TL 700 because it’s so thin. We can put either a French lace or a Super Fine Swiss lace front on the TL 400. There is no extra charge for this. People usually get a 1” to 1 1/2” lace front but we can do whatever you want.
Regards,
John
