Interesting setup. Do you think you could use it like the Thule Outrigger or Yakima Boatloader Evo to help in loading the boat? Extend the outside bar/rack all the way, lean the nose of the kayak onto it and then lift the rear up? I couldn't tell how far out it can extend.

Cheers,
Brad

I've tried it but the arm was not long enough but I've seen some on using a long bar by inserting where the arms go it and using it as a assist. I'll be looking for a metal bar that's going to fit.

If you go strapless, and start bouncing up and down, the kayak will pop out eventually. Just sayin...

Was wondering the same thing..... I do a lot of backroad camping with yaks in tow... not a smooth ride.

But for the quick trip down the road this looks sweet!

Thanks for the vid and review Moo!

When you push the arms in it also puts downward pressure. I find it more secure than the straps.

When I first started I wore 7mm farmer john which I used to wear for ab diving. It was 2 piece wet suit, farmer john and top. Even without the top it felt restrictive so I got a 3mm nrs farmer john.

Go Moo Go! Nobody's takin' a sawzall to it and I hope the bad guys don't figure some of these things out. Loved the vid. I kinda like the hooks on the top but you're saying my discontinued version holds a wider yak? Either way, see ya on da wattah'!

Not necessarily the width but the height. They were saying it's hard to fit Hobie PA because of the height on my version.

I was extremely reluctant to get a drysuit, as I've always had issues with latex rubber gloves. If I put on latex gloves, my hands turn red and skin gets itchy, and worse. So, when I got my first drysuit, I was planning on replacing the wrist gaskets, but miraculously, the latex wrist gaskets on my Kokatat (semi)drysuit don't seem to bother my skin.

Anyways, are there silicone rubber wrist gaskets? I seem to recall seeing some when I was thinking that I'd need to replace my wrist gaskets.

Yes, there are silicon wrist gaskets.
I am not experienced.

This was what Kokatat recommended;

Thank you for your interest in Kokatat.
Our semi dry Supernova Angler Suit does not have a latex neck gasket but is does have latex wrist gaskets. While Kokatat does not have alternative materials for our gaskets there are 3rd party latex alternatives on the market that can be used in DIY replacement applications.

I did see the silicone gasket but they are pricey for just the jacket. Maybe I'll try the silicone for my future semi dry suit.

The NRS Champion Jacket comes with neoprene wrist gaskets. I own one and really like them.
The neoprene gaskets prevents water going to your arms. Not as waterproof as latex but good enough. This me wearing one. https://www.norcalkayakanglers.com/index.php?topic=101802.0

It's a good looking jacket. Unfortunately I cannot return my jacket and I want to learn how to replace the gasket hehe.

What jacket do you own?

I have a kokotat tempest jacket. I really like the jacket except the latex gasket.

After seeing Eddie's LockRack, I wanted to try it out for myself.
I've used it for 2 trips. Both trips involving freeways speed and very windy road.
So far it's working flawlessly.
I had to put extra padding down for my AI for better fit due to the hull shape but for my stealth and my poor man's tarpon 120 (upside down), it's perfect.

Try this one: https://expressdrysuitrepair.com/repair-services

Thank you. I don't see the neoprene wrist gasket for sale on the website but since they do neoprene replacement service I'll ask them if they are willing sell me a pair.

General Fishing Tips / Neoprene Wrist Gasket Replacement

« on: April 15, 2024, 11:04:04 AM »

I need some advise on replacing latex wrist gasket to neoprene gasket.
I recently got a semi dry jacket with latex wrist gasket which I need to replace with neoprene gasket due to latex allergy.
I tried out the jacket yesterday after not getting exposed to latex for nearly 20 years and yes, I still have latex allergy LOL.
I looked for neoprene gasket but only ones I found was from UK on ebay. Do you know anywhere else I can get a pair of neoprene gasket?
I'm thinking of using aquaseal to replace them. Is there a better way?

Thanks in advance.
