I recently bought a brand new drysuit at a smoke and water damage shop (for 10 Euro's), which unfortunately requires new latex gaskets all around. Also, I was planning to have a relief zipper installed.

Does anyone here have experience with having their drysuit or dry top repaired and altered at Hiko in Prague, CZ? Of course, any place closer to the Netherlands would also be helpful.

I can't find any company willing to repair and alter drysuits here in the Netherlands, and I tend to be in Prague quite regularly. Any idea about the price of those kinds of repairs would also be helpful.

TIA!

OK, I got the latex gaskets (for 600 Czech crowns, about 18 Euro). Now I'm still looking for a relief zipper. Anyone know where I can find a seperate relief zipper that I will install myself?

An online shop or a shop within the Benelux/NRW area would be great.

In Katwijk (holland) there is:

A lady who repairs surfsuits but also replaces neckgaskets. She repaired my drygag a few times. Maybe she can help you.

Good luck
