I am going to have all the gaskets replaced in my old drysuit (neck, wrists and ankles). Would you recommend ankle gaskets or the latex socks? Why?

For the cold season i prefer now the latex socks over my previous ankle gaskets. it's easier to step into the suit, you can wear warm socks in the latex socks and your feet remain warm and dry. I used some external latex socks before, but getting all watertight at the ankles was uncomfortable.

Goretex socks sewn to your drysuit would be best. My feet love goretex.

WWDLD - Done. Amigos is a Team Seacats sponsor... must be a good source, eh?

Amigos does exceptional work and have been keeping us dry for three years! Highly recommended (and tell them where you found them) <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

There's nothing better than a sponsor you believe in!

Thanks for the input. The conditions I choose to sail in are not too tough (tback can attest, as I quit on him once); probably mild to most of you. BUT I DO have a drysuit with bad gaskets and it could expand my comfort zone if the suit was reliable.

I won't promise it'll make me sail more; but you never know....
