I purchased an Ironman Instinct wetsuit earlier this season.
Now that heading into the off-season, any recommendations for how to "store" the wetsuit.
Any conditioners for the rubber?
Store it folded? Store it hanging?

Wash the wetsuit in your tub or shower using a wetsuit cleaner/conditioner.
I have stored mine hanging or lying under the bed. I would not recommend folding for storage. If you do hang it get a large plastic or wooden hanger ( larger in thickness) to fill the shoulders up. Suit hanger can work well. I prefer the lying flat method myself.

Okay thanks - I'll get some conditioner. I typically hang it on one of those big fat hangers.
Space under the bed is premium real estate. My wife has that allocated. My tri stuff takes up too much room as it is, so best to just keep it hanging.
