glad Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 I inherited a men's XL drysuit. The ankle, neck and wrist gaskets need replacing. I have no idea about it's waterproofness. It's blue and green with the heavy duty material of yore. Being a serious recycler, I hate to dump it into the trash. The zippers look to be in fine shape. Does anyone want it or have any good ideas about where it could see glimmers of a second life? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhabich Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Did it have a drunken sailor in it? We know what to do with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfolster Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Have you contacted Kokatat to inquire about servicing it (cost of gasket repairs, etc)? They should be able to verify the integrity of the suit before doing any repair work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glad Posted January 13, 2023 Author Share Posted January 13, 2023 Good idea. I'll at least contact Kokatat to see if they would like to inspect, repair and give to someone who otherwise might not be able to afford it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhabich Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Or just post it here on the for sale section, or talk to Andrea at Chicago Adventure Therapy. They always need gear. Or keelhaul it ‘til it’s sober. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Foster Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) It would be a good project suit for a gasket repair clinic. Edited January 13, 2023 by Dan Foster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glad Posted January 13, 2023 Author Share Posted January 13, 2023 Great ideas, folks! I'll bring it to the Cabin Fever Party, we can sober it up and anyone who wants it can take it for free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
