How about dry cleaning?

We understand... it just requires a change in how you look at it. Don't think of it as "no longer looking brand new", think of it as "starting to look more like it's owned by a diver than a wetsuit model".DawgDiver:

true... i was jsut thinking 'wait till he tears a knee out of it crawling over oyster shells'MSilvia:
I love how people suggest dry cleaning for a wetsuit.
Next time hang your suit up. The wrinkles are a result of damaging the air cells in the neoprene. Although after a few dives your suit may look ok it has definately been damaged.

Not a stupid question at all. For every person that asks a question on this board there are probably dozens who can use the answers. Wetsuits aren't cheap and taking care of them is important. Prompted by your question (or rather one of the answers), I googled neoprene & dryclean and found out it is a no-no. I also found out that I should not hang my wetsuit up for an extended time (weeks) because it will stretch the neoprene. I guess that's what those big hangars http://www.leisurepro.com/Prod/Cate...ck/DescSort_0/Filter_6=528/AQUESH3.html?Hit=1 are for.
