Holy Smoke!!! I sent my drysuit in for servicing at the Kokatat Factory.  I needed new seals.  But while they were at it, they leak tested the suit and fixed ANY AND ALL possible leaks.  Actually, I didn't think I had any leaks, but they identified 100's of possible pin pricks and fixed them all.  They even reinforced the seals in problem areas like the socks.  I kid you not ... 100's, and I really didn't think I had any leaks.  I had previously found a couple of pin pricks that I fixed myself, but that was it, after 2.5 years of service.  I had this done on the pro staff discount (free!!!), but out of curiosity I asked about the normal cost of such a service.  The answer was $15-25, plus shipping.  What?!?  Just do it.  New neck seals is $60 and new wrist seals is $29.  I seem to blow out my neck seal once a year, but this was the first time I replaced the wrists seals.  They weren't blown out yet, but they had the weathered, dried out look that was begging for replacement.  And yes, I 303 them regularly.

Awesome!  I brought my suit home from the coast Sunday because it has a leak or two I discovered over Thanksgiving (did a lot of deep wading raking Crabs).  Was going to try to fix it myself, but not any more!  What's the drill to send it in..
