Go to your nearest kayak shop and buy a new wrist gasket, they will probably also stock the special adhesive/glue required to attach it.

Then read through this excellent advice from Adrian :that I used (second time round after I had made a complete mess of the first job):

Can also get gasket and seam sealer at a dive shop. The quality is almost always better.

Did it rip or just come off? If the latter I would send back to the maker!

Cool :) Glad the article came in handy! Always makes it worth the effort when people can get something out of it, so thanks.

Hope you come right! Be careful when taking off your dry top. I see far too many people pulling the top off by pulling on the sleeve. Rather stick your fingers under the gasket and work your hands out, same goes for your noggin... :laugh:
