Video: How to Care for a Drysuit or Dry Top

Dry wear, like dry suits, dry tops, and dry pants are big investments. In this video, we look at how to care and maintain your dry wear. In particular, we talk about how to care for the latex gaskets on your drysuit or dry top. This also applies to dry tops or drysuits without latex. A drysuit for kayaking or a dry top for kayaking is an important piece of paddling gear to keep you warm and safe in cold conditions, but it you don't take care of them, you'll find yourself needing to repair a drysuit.
