There are a variety of wrist gaskets on what NRS calls splash west jackets up to the dry suit type. I think my jackets just have the neoprene gaskets that slow the water down a lot.
I think the one time I wished I had those in the BW was when I forgot to dump out the canoe at the start of a portage on a cold stormy day. A lot of water went down my sleeve. Soon afterwards we stopped so I could change and for hot drinks. I will never make that mistake again.

If I know heavy rain is in the forecast and I will be paddling or fishing for hours, I bring a Level Six kayak dry top and it has gaskets wrists. Kokatat and NRS make great stuff too. Also take a Patagonia TorrentShell rain jacket for normal rain and mist.
There are saltwater surf fishing tops that are made of fabric or neoprene where the neck, waist and wrists are all gasketed. StormR is one company that makes several different products.
