I keep my wetsuit hanging on a broad wide rounded plastic hanger in the closet. I wash it off in and out with freshwater from a garden hose spray everytime I use the wetsuit in the ocean or the pool. Then I dry it and hang it for storage. The main thing is that you want to keep it out of the sun and heat and not store it compressed (rolled up or folded) or with the smooth skin in contact with smooth skin (it tends to stick together)

Anyone have any good wetsuit care tips or know some sort of wetsuit care 101 website where I can learn all the dos and donts of wetsuits? I am looking for stuff like proper use, cleaning, what not to do, how to store it, stuff like that. Any help is greatly appreciated

I do all the stuff blue does, but I also use wetsuit shampoo from QR....and whisper sweet nothings to it.

Could i use like 5 or 6 regular hangers instead of a wide one?

Probably. Just move it around a bit from time to time. You don't want to get permanent creases. They'll be weak spots where your wetsuit is likely to crack and tear.

Ok, what about just folding it at the waist and storing it flat like that? The little card says to store it flat on the ground or fold it at the waist, but I don't really have space for that
