Dry-Suit feet replacement

[Fauvel]

I tore my latex Dry-Suit feet at the Put-In on Monday.

Do you know a place where i can ship my dry-suit for repair. It is a NRS
but made by OSS i think.

If i can find replacement latex feet i am handy enough to do the repair
myself. Gore-tex feed even better.

Lots of place sell replacement wristneck, wrist and ankle gaskets but
i have not seen whole feets.

I think just about anyone will do the repair job: NRS, OS Systems, etc... Conveniently, I have found that a growler (1/2 gallon beer bottle) is just about the perfect diameter to use as a form for the feet of a dry suit. The glue job is pretty easy... much easier than a neck gasket.

I ordered latex feet from OSSystems. Seem there is several sizes and two possible
opening diameter (15" and 16" circumference) for OSS.

NRS has latex feet but i dont have the opening circumference. Check with them
if you order there.

Kokatat will sell latex feet by pair ($88 a pair). I know they use gore-tex feet but
told me they did not sell those.

MEC in Montreal carries wrist, ankle and neck gasket but not feets. I did not check
the small specialized shops though. The diving shop that replaced my wrist and neck
gaskets 2 years ago did not sell feet at that time.

Since i orderer 3 latex feet i will try to see if a local outdoor stuff repai shop can make
gore-tex (or plain waterproof nylon) feet the same size.

Duct-taping a torn latex feet works reasonably well for a while.

I hope this information will be of use to others.

Could you just get a pair of gortex socks and attach them?

Kokatat won't sell Goretex drysuit feet, but they will install them for you... I decided to go with the Latex feet I already had instead.
