Can you fix your dry suit yourself?
It all depends on what kind of damage your dry suit shows. Whether, for example, the material of a cuff becomes tired or the suit has a hole are two fundamentally different prerequisites. For certain wearing parts of your dry suit there are self-repair options such as the prefabricated cuff replacement sets and a zipper that no longer runs you can also get back to running on your own. You can also improve the tightness and the material wear by regular impregnation. If your suit has a hole or if the coating has loosened inside, you only have to go to the manufacturer to seal and repair the suit.
What repair kits are available?
The standard rubber cuffs can't be repaired once they're torn - just replace them. There are sets with neck, arm or foot cuffs and the matching adhesive. For your broken neoprene cuff on the other hand there is a neoprene adhesive, but you can also use it to attach a new neoprene cuff to the suit.
Prevention of damage
You can hardly prevent a cuff from becoming brittle and possibly tearing after years of use due to the constant UV influences and regular contact with salt water. However, you can significantly delay the damage by regularly keeping your suit fit for your suit with cuff powder or a grease pen for the zipper. If you are active in salt water, it is advisable to rinse the suit after your activity.
