I have a promotion dry suit. It's probably at least 5 years old. Neoprene on the bottom, and light weight material on the top , with a waterproof zipper. Sort of like the old bare dry suits. It's been a great suit, maybe leaks a few drops , very warm, and I'm the one usually wearing the most neoprene. I don't know if they make them anymore, but mine has lasted well, and I'd buy another one. |

Kokatat advised me to use 303 no more than annually. They said to go by appearance; if it looks like it's drying out, then use it. And, of course, we're supposed to open all seals/cuffs by hand rather than just shoving our hands/head/feet through them. |

Food grade silicone spray works wonders for getting seals on without tearing them. Its sold in five shops for that reason.
You can also do the plastic bag trick, I wouldn't recommend it for your head though. |
