They're not made for swinging your arms around as you would during a paddle. We did small repairs, and also new suits we put on the appropriate sized booties for the pilot, then leak tested. I was an "Aircrew Survival Equipment Specialist" better known as a Parachute Rigger [or "Aviation Seamstress Mate".] You sit very stationary as a pilot compared to a paddler. 1987 is 20 years old... to quote Elmer Fudd "be vewy vewy cayful" I would expect the gaskets to self-destruct putting it on. Though in 1987 (when I was on board the USS Coral Sea [a/c carrier]) we were using white gaskets/socks for the drysuits, so maybe the black ones are better/newer. I've been out since 1990.

[Please remove all old content that is not pertinent to your reply including old headers and footers. It's list policy.... this post was modified to meet policy] I can tell you that I purchased one of the Mustang survival suits on Ebay a while back. This one belonged to a rural fire department, and it appeared to be in reasonable condition. One of the seams was gone and required repair. Although this suit would be a wise thing to have onboard a vessel intended for offshore, this suit would be useless for a kayak. It was simply too bulky and stiff. On the other hand, if you were on a sinking sailboat, you'd be glad to have it. It would most definitely extend the time before hypothermia sets in. I noticed that the dry suit in the ebay listing came with a fabric liner. If the liner is in decent shape, the liner alone may make the purchase worthwhile.
