: Grant,

: I have a paddling jacket from Mountain Surf. Latex seals on the wrists --
: work great. Double tunnel for the spray skirt -- works great. Neoprene
: seal at the neck -- cold water down the back on a roll, not much, but you
: can definitely feel it trickling down when you get right-side-up again.
: After a session of working on rolling, my layers under it are soaked
: completely. I think a latex seal would be much nicer.

Hey John,

I talked Mike Hanks through the process of retrofitting a latex neck seal into a paddling jacket. You could get together with him and turn your jackets into drytops.
