(from the Kokatat site)
* Remove sharp rings, watches or jewelry. When putting the garment on, carefully stretch the gasket open with your ands and slowly ease over your head, feet and wrists. Use the same care when removing the garment.
* Latex gaskets are intended to fit snug; they will stretch a little with use. If they are too tight, stretch them onto some kind of form a couple of inches larger than your neck, overnight or longer. If they are still too tight, they may be carefully trimmed, but only trim 1/16" at a time. Avoid nicks or cutting down into the gasket.
* Sunscreen, insect repellents, lotions, high heat and humidity, extreme dryness, and exhaust fumes from cars or gas appliances can destroy or shorten the life of gaskets.
* The best way to protect your gaskets is with regular use of "303 Protectant" brand protectant. Apply "303" several times during the season, and occasionally when in storage.
* Keep the garment clean, rinsing as needed, and hang dry. Store either hanging or loosely rolled, out of direct sunlight.
* Small tears or holes in the gasket may be repaired with Aquaseal. Replacement gaskets and kits are available from your dealer or Kokatat, or Kokatat can replace the gaskets for you for a nominal fee
