I, on the other hand, am on my third neck gasket in two years. But I  
use it a lot and rarely maintain the gaskets with 303, etc. I  
wouldn't trade it for anything else. The air/water temps where I live  
are 55/53 pretty much all year round, so I wear my drysuit all year  
round. I love my drysuit. And Kokatat is in my home town.
