The Dry suit vs. wet suit argument

I can't believe how civil this discussion has been. I know it's not winter, but it feels like it at my house (temp in the 40s and rain), and I was counting on this thread for some wintertime-like entertainment. You guys have really disappointed me!

The most common damage, by a landslide, was people blowing out a gasket while donning or doffing the suit. 

I've had this problem--tore both of my wrist gaskets last year. Is there a good way to lube the gaskets, or some other approach that will mitigate this problem?

We used 303 protectant and would apply it after every 48- or 72-hour shift as part of normal maintenance.

That’s good. If I recall correctly, that’s what the Kokatat instructions say too
