I was wondering is there really a method for storing a drysuit that is better then the other i have heard a couple people do it different ways. But i read the Book from the manufacturer and they say to just hang with a thicker hanger from the shoulders. Thats how i have it now and have it zipped Partially closed so that there is less pressure on the zipper and have the suspenders on the lower half of the hanger so less pull on the shoulders. I have heard from some that it should be stored in the bag rolled up just curious if either way makes a difference and if one way is any better then the other. Made a Big investment dont want to ruin it.

I got the Bare Trilam HD Tech Dry (front Zip)

That's a good question.. Mine spent all winter in the garage and after a few minutes inside it was ready for diving.. But I guess it's probably not the proper way to store it. I guess if you have the room then a hanger wouldn't be bad.

I hang mine on one of the big blue hangers too, but I also put unscented talcum powder on the seals. I'm not sure if it did any good, since my suit is in the shop right now getting a new neck seal. :cry:

I think it's just the nature of latex. It starts to degenerate over time and get all gummy. Maybe from the oils in ones skin. Hope you get your suit fixed soon.
