RE: [Paddlewise] Was Dress for water temp, now after drysuit

There are "splash jackets" that have neoprene neckseals, and they have
some water resistance if you're being hit by spray or heavy rain, but
they're "water resistant" as opposed to "waterproof"; if you swim that
kind of gear, it will flood.

This may be a moot point, but why don't they make the neck gaskets out
of neoprene, instead of unreliable latex? Is it not stretchy enough?
