I am seriously planning to purchase a Kokotat Gore-Tex drysuit.  I am deciding
whether to get latex socks or ankle gaskets.  While latex socks will keep my
feet dry, I am concerned about wearing holes in the heals.  An associate of
mine says he is able to wear SealSkinz [sp?] socks _under_ the ankle gaskets
to form a watertight seal.  He can then buy new SealSkinz socks if they wear.

I suspect this topic may have been discussed before.  If it has, what is the
consensus?  If it hasn't, what are the thoughts of the members of this list?
