DRY SUIT NECK GASKET

Advice
#1

Hi,



I have gained a few pounds 10-15, went to use my dry suit last pastweekend and thought I was gonna choke. (Size large I am 6’ 175lbs neck size 17")

The neck neck gasket seems to have shrunk or my percpetion of it has, any advise on this?



I know it needs to be snug ,but to the point where I feel like I am being strangled.



Please advise?



thanks in advance

trim the gasket…
Cut off one ring at a time with an exacto knife until you’re no longer choking. My general rule is that I want the gasket to be tight but if after fifteen minutes, I still feel uncomfortable, it’s too tight. If after fifteen minutes the gasket no longer bothers you, it’s perfect.
