    Hang it or bag it?

    When I'm done diving for the day I rinse my drysuit and hang it up by the feet in my unheated garage. Is it fine to leave it there or should I roll and bag it then put it in my warm house?

    Garages tend to collect exhaust fumes from cars, not good for the seals. I would hang it in a closet in the house if possible.

    after drying,i bag and store in the house
    if i'm not going in for a few days
    helps the suit by the kid not running it over with the car
    and keeps the seals outta the fumes
    then it's all ready to go next time also
    have fun

    Linedog: Good question. Our advice is to hang your suit-zipper open-on a wide shouldered hanger in a cool dry place and not in a garage.
