: Hi Dave,
: Don't cut the gasket yet. Try streching it first. get something a little
: larger than your neck and strech the gasket over it for the night. As a
: diver I have used a tank to strech it over but you should be able to find
: something to use. Trimming should be a last resort. I thought about
: cutting the ankle gaskets on my dry pants but am glad I didn't. Thet have
: streched out from normal wear just fine.
Dumb , dumb sometimes I am so dumb! I put one foot where it should be in my new goretex drysuit. Then I put my left foot where my left hand should go and did I have a sweet time getting that off. And the neck is horrible with that thing around my neck much worse than trying to button the top button on a shirt that is 2 sizes too small. All $475 is going back because I had to push so hard I thought I would pull a muscle. Sorry folks but I am playing indoor volleyball on Tuesday. The semi dry neck closure with velcro sounds like a winner. And maybe I will fasten a neoprene balaclava to the back of my pfd because they say much heat is lost thru the head. If I go in the water, I pull up the hood. Meanwhile I must warn you. Kokatat drysuit appears to run small and the latex gasket around the neck is nightmare material. I sure do hope they take it back because that drysuit totally freaks me out.
