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.

I have a Tempest Jacket too. I haven't used it since I started using the NRS Champion Jacket, which is IMO better designed for kayak fishing.

I am new to kayak fishing and plan to fish the ARW Tournament. I would normally fish from my 23’ boat around Berkeley, op, Candlestick, bird cage, the rockpiles and other areas. Never really fished the ARW area. The closest I would get to there was anchoring near the yellow bouy (Oakland) and letting the kids catch sharks. I plan on getting over there to fish in a couple weeks, I’ll be by myself. When I was in my powerboat I never worried about the tidal flow direction and making it back to the dock. Any advice on this location would be greatly appreciated or if you can point me right direction to educate myself. Am I over thinking this? Ideally I would normally like to fish 2 hours before and after the tide changes.

I’ll be using a Radar 135 with a Helix Pedal drive.

If you have problems outside the wall, and the tides get too strong, you can always duck behind the wall on the inside.
There tends to be less current and wind behind the wall, and make you way back.

I normally recommend this for all new people fishing there. Remember the wind blows south so by the afternoon the wind will tend to push you back towards the ramp if you fish north.

Good luck --TLA

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.
