My sister in-law has a two piece dry suit that requires new neck, wrist and the waist gaskets. Can you recommend a good person who can do this work. She does not want to attempt the waist gasket herself, so she'd just as soon send the two pieces, top and bottoms, off and have it done professionally. Last year at the West Coast Sea Kayak symposium in Port Townsend I was introduced to an expert on dry suit fitting and repair. I remember he was from Seattle but I cannot recall his name. At the time I was musing about shorting the legs on my suit. Can anyone recommend someone and provide a contact number or e mail address. If there's someone on Vancouver Island or in Vancouver that would be more convient.

Most of the makers of drysuits will replace the gaskets on their products for a reasonable charge. She may be able to send it directly to the maker or send it via the retail outfit where she purchased it. That will be more expensive than a local person (esp. if that person does not do it for a fee), but that's an option.

Gordin, The experts recommend sending the worn dry suits to Chillcheater, in England, who replace the gaskets with those made of Aquatherm, their own fabric that has much better ageing properties than latex, and feels nicer, too! Write to them and ask for a quote! order_at_chillcheater.com They also have a rep. in California! http://reednorthamerica.com/ Technical Support Information Technical support is offered Monday - Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. (PST).
