Like a bad penny, I keep popping up. Last time I was here was briefly in 2021 and before that 2019. I was very active fishing from my tricked out Revo from 2009 to 2014. Some of you may remember me. Some of you may remember this:
Puget Sound Water Rescue

I stopped kayak fishing in 2014 for a very personal reason which put me down for a few years. I'll only share this: if you or your children are eligible for the HPV vaccination, Gardasil-9, I strongly recommend it.

Ten years later, older and even grayer, I am hoping to get back on the water regularly. Lings are opening soon, then salmon and crab. As a skinny guy, dedicated to safety, I need a new dry/semi-dry suit. A month ago I sent my Kokatat T3 Super Nova Angler bought in 2008 and heavily used, back to Kokatat for neck and wrist replacements. They responded weeks later stating the suit was beyond repair. Not sure why. Unlike in the past, Kokatat is not particularly communicative. They offered to dispose of it, but I opted for them to send it back.

I am considering replacing my beloved T3 with a new:  SuperNova Angler Semi-Dry Suit (Hydrus 3.0)
or

Swift Entry Dry Suit (Hydrus 3.0) with Relief Zipper and Socks.

Any comments on these suits? I would prefer latex wrist gaskets, and it seems the Swift has those.

I sell the Kokatats at my store.  The rep told me that the Goretex (which I use) breathes 30% better than the Hydrus so it was worth the extra money to me.

Just FYI to everyone out there...

I recently discovered that Eugene Skindiver Supply will replace seals relatively cheaply and quickly. I'm having both wrists done, $75 and a week or less turnaround time.

Latex gaskets neck and wrists are more time consuming than difficult.
