Default Over-the-winter drysuit seal retention

can be said for 303 as well. I've found that the only use 303 has is to
force the use of more 303; very handy if you sell 303 but just another
consumer-targeted fraud. I've had my present drytop since 2000, have used
nothing on it, never washed it, store it in -50 deg. and expect to replace
the worn-out fabric (G-tx) before the gaskets.


I really disagree.

It's easy to see and feel the difference in suppleness after applying 303
to latex gaskets. The latex absorbs a certain amount of 303, causing it to
stretch better and slide more easily over your head and hands.

I agree that 303 is probably useless on anything but latex. Years ago
there was a magazine advertisement showing two PFDs, one treated with 303
and the other not treated, with the latter falling apart from UV damage.
This was supposedly from one treatment! I tried it and my PFD is faded
and the fabric is starting to fray, so I think the advertisement was BS.
