| Re GUV's comments about latex seals breaking down, it sounds right to me.
I've just sold a "yachting" type drysuit which I've had for a few years and never used. It was in perfect nick when I got it, I kept it in the proverbial cool, dry place, and when I sold it, the neck seal was well on it's way out.
Re chrisch's comments about Barrex, me too! Me and Mrs. Me have used it exclusively since moving to Oban 5 years ago and are still only on the second tin. As well as making it easier to get our suits on, it's less messy than talcum powder, and as the name suggests, it protects your hands to a certain degree. As far as I know, only Puffin sell the stuff as it's made by their "sister" company in Carlisle.
