Im thinking about getting a new cag maybe some dry-trousers too and ive got a few questions:

Peak/Palm - whats the difference? I know its silly but I get confused between the two, is one of them better value/quality?

Neoprene seals - Ive got a yak semi-dry cag and its comfortable but leaky. Ive seen IR and Peak/Palm(whichever one it is) ones with different style neoprene neck seals, how well do these work?

Dry-trousers - any recommendations? Neoprene or latex ankle seals?

DamX - it seems cool but i cant find a website, does anyone know if there is one or where i can find some info like prices/options etc?

cheers

neoprene seals tend to be on semi-dry cags rather than on dry cags as neoprene is not waterproof. Although neoprene seals are more comfortable latex seals are waterproof.

I personally prefer the peak stuff as it has a better cut for most people they make comfortable kit which works.

On the trouser front I would avoid latex seals as if any water gets is and it will they just fill up as it cannot escape Several of my friends have had this happening to them and have removed the latex and wishesd they didnt bother with the more expensive ones!

Thankfully most manufacturers make trousers without latex seals check out the yak salopettes and peaks very nice trousers with two neo seals they are awsome

definatly worth trying these on as if they dont fit around you waist tightly (but comfortably) they fill with water and fall down have fun
