But I I had the neck and wrist seals on my Goretex drysuit replaced by Reed Chillcheater material, and it has lasted well. I had the job done after tearing a neck seal the first time I put it on after a latex replacement, at the start of a one month paddling holiday in the UK. Very frustrating. Not something that Chillcheater advertise, but they were happy to do the job, with the proviso that they experimented on part of the suit that was seldom seen to ensure that their tape would stick.
