So I know many have asked and the response is usually call express dry suit repair, but here goes.....

I need my neck and cuff seals repaired and would like to have relief zipper installed, but every time I call express dry suit repair and leave a message I get no response.  Just curious if anyone else has had this experience and should I keep trying or is there another outfit that can do the work that is local to SW portland area.

Thanks in advance, Lucas

if you have a Kokatat drysuit,  Gronseth Kayak Academy (Seattle) will do the gasket replacement.   They don't do zippers but they do the other. https://www.kayakacademy.com/collections/drysuit-repairs

NRS will do repairs as well but they are also a mail-in solution.

You might call Next Adventure, perhaps they know of someone.

Gaskets are not hard to replace on your own:

Looks like Alder Creek might get the seals done for you:  https://aldercreek.com/rental-overview/gasket-repair/

Thanks for the help everyone!!!  I finally was contacted back from express.  He has my suit and was very helpful in helping to get me squared away.  I think the best way to contact him is through email.

i got my neck and arm gastkets replaced.  Haf it back to me within a week.  I used Immersion Research for my replacements.  They are right by the White Salmon river.  They ship for a very reasonable price too
