[quote=davefarmer]I've had six or seven suits over the years, and I didn't notice any great differences in construction or quality between mfgrs. I only seem to get a season or two out of latex gaskets, so I prefer the neoprene gaskets for longevity and comfort. I do like the socks, the Kokatat I'm currently using has Gore Tex booties which work well and my last longer than latex. I've had Gore Tex suits, and haven't found them noticeably more comfortable than non, I do notice when I'm sweating that the undergarments are moist, but that's never translated into being cold. I'm in WA and MT, and start sailing in April(March this year!) and into October, with very cold water in the spring, so I use the suit for a couple months at the beginning of the season, and maybe a month at the end.
I've found near new suits on CL several times for substantial discounts, folk who buy them and discover they really don't want to be out there in those conditions.
