If you are hanging up your drysuit after the season here are a few pointers to keep it in the best possible shape.

​

• Make sure your suit is fully dried out before putting away. Mould and mildew are not nice things to discover come spring.

• Check over all seams (included those inside) for glue de-lamination. Getting a patch done early will prevent a more costly job later on!

• Although this applies more to latex than neoprene - always store out of direct sunlight (to avoid UV damage) and at 23°C. Too hot and latex will soften, too cold and it will become brittle.

• Avoid putting pressure on the zip. We suggest folding your suit with the zip closed - boots and legs rolled up to the chest and arms folded across. This keeps the zip in its natural orientation and avoids straining the teeth.
