I have really enjoyed using a drysuit for the past couple years but this summer when the neck gasket blew open I lost a lot of faith in the latex material. I took very good care of the latex gaskets and after my neck gasket blew apart I wanted to find another type of gasket that I could trust my life on. After researching different types of neck gaskets used for diving and kayaking drysuits I decided to try making a gasket out of 1mm neoprene with nylon on one side and Glideskin on the other. The neoprene is very stretchy and slides easily over the head. It is completely waterproof after doing many rolls and is much more comfortable than the latex gasket. I thought I would post this message in case anyone else would like to try installing one on their drysuit. I put together a webshots album of what I did and would like to hear any ideas or comments that could make it better.
