Does not fit, it's thinner than the one pictureed, also its 10.25" not 11.00 circumference. You can't plan a repair, if the description is incorrect. Unfortunate waste of time. I had to return it.

The normal use is to attach these inside the sleeve of a jacket. I just wanted them for cool days when I want to keep the water that drips off my paddle from running into my sleeve. So, I put my jacket on, then put these on. They kept the water out. For their original purpose they are a five. For how I use them, maybe they are just a 4, but I knew that going in and for what I want it lets me wear my most comfortable jacket. On really wet or cold days a true dry top is needed.

These are thin and small gaskets. No manufacture date is stamped on them. They are too small for my Kokatat drytop or drysuit.

I mainly kayak fish, and have a very old dry suit from Kokatat for winter kayaking, must be about 15 years old at this point still going strong. The gaskets all needed replacing and these fit perfectly. I just trimmed off the old gasket and used a wide mouth Nalgene water bottle as the form, flipped it inside out and put over the base of the old gasket. Prepped both with some light sanding and acetone, then glued on with aquaseal. They sat overnight for about 10 hours and looks like everything sealed up nicely, so mission accomplished I have new wrist gaskets. If you don't know how to do this, there are some really good instructional videos on YouTube. Just make sure you get some Aquaseal and a proper form to use. One thing I will say is these definitely don't seem as good of quality as the old gaskets on the kokatat, those were much thicker latex material. So we'll see how long these last, but as far as I can tell they are doing the job so I couldn't care less. I know some hardcore whitewater paddlers who replace their gaskets every one to two years so if it lasts me a few years of moderate use then I'll be happy. Fun project, fun to review it, and now time to hit the water again.

Easy as any other gasket to install. I’ve used the drytop a few times since so I can’t speak to longevity. A little lighter rubber means less struggling to get over my hands. Tight no leaks , mission accomplished.

Worked perfectly. Make sure you buy the right glue and prep the seal joints correctly and you’re golden.

Great replacement. Fit tight but just add a bottle to stretch out, fine after one night.
