>From Patrick <snip> >Kokatat makes great suits, but they really should include some instructions for use. What is the easiest way to get the suit on (left arm first, then neck, then right arm), the proper way to put gaskets on (reaching down far and pulling the gasket open with the length of your finger, not the tips), and they should at least mention the effects of gaskets on leg hair! What you're suggesting makes too much sense. i too wondered why a quality company like Kokatat sells a high dollar drysuit that arrives with no instructions for use. fortunately for Kokatat, most of our local club members support the prouduct... even though no instructions are provided. perhaps a thread of tips on how folks get into and out of their drysuits would be useful. i keep my head vertical while putting mine on... i am concerned about a neck injury at a remote location. powder all over my bald head, ears, and neck help it slip on easier. afterwards, i look like the Pillsbury doughboy. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Sun May 02 1999 - 14:26:16 PDT
