Try a manufacturer of scuba diving drysuit valves, and use an automatic
cuff-dump valve. The Apeks ones are good, small and reliable, and easy to
install. Here is a source in the UK.
http://www.divebooty.co.uk/equipment_details.asp?pid=276 but for USA I'd
suggest trying rec.scuba.equipment and I'm sure they'll be able to help.
Details on Apek valve . . .
Totally free from maintenance and requires no adjustment. Designed to fit in the suit cuff and allows venting air to escape from the suit by simply raising the arm.

Cheers
