RE: [Paddlewise] drysuit patches

If your drysuit is Kokatat, call them for a patch kit.  I just patched a
hole in mine and it was very easy.  They provide everything - adhesive,
plain Goretex, colored Goretex (all in a bunch of different sizes), all for
about $15.  Other drysuit manufacturers probably have similar kits but I am
unfamiliar with them.
