When you haven’t used your drytop, drypants
or drysuit for awhile it pays to check on their condition well before
the first trip you plan to take them on.
The main thing to look at is the condition of the latex gaskets.
Latex is a great material: it’s stretchy, supple and form
fitting. But it’s also subject to deterioration and damage.
If the gaskets are torn or cracked they need to be replaced. Our Repair Department can do this for
you. We can also do other minor drywear repairs (call for more information)
or can recommend sources for major repairs.
You can also do-it-yourself. We have complete illustrated Gasket
Repair Instructions on the website, along with links to the necessary
replacement gaskets, adhesives and tools needed. On the same page
are excellent tips on the proper care of your drywear. Wash the garments
in cold water after each use, air dry and avoid getting sunscreens
on the gaskets. Store the garments in dry, temperature controlled
areas away from light sources.
