Just looking to see if anyone has had there suits repaired by anybody in the seattle area. My nrs has a couple spots somewhere , and the damn wrist gasket tore on me. Im in the Everett area I'm still up in the air about buying a new suit. this suit is still good. I just had some unfortunate events with some rockfish spikes in my lap last time out at hobuck.

Did you ask if NRS will warranty it?  If not, perhaps they'll have a recommendation.

I've heard the Kayak Academy in Issaquah do good work on damaged dry suits. Personally, I have no experience with them.  Good luck!

Its well past the warantee date. I bought it used2 seasons ago . and its been cleaned and dryed and stored in a cool dark spot. Ive taken the precautions. What happened was i had two rockfish in my lap and they were flopping around . when i stripped my suit off i had water spots right in my lap area. I will try them. I want it fixed before may 1 hopefully. I have some killing to do at area 9

I bought my kokatat at Kayak Academy, the place another post suggested. They are super nice and friendly there. Give them a call.

looking at the kokatat hydrus. not a full dry suit. does that mean if I fall in water will seep in through the neck?

Seep in.  Neither a trickle nor a pour.
