A week ago I hung my rinsed out gear to dry in the garage including BC, regs and gauges.
The stuff was out there for several days at above freezing temps and surely got pretty dry during that time, but last night the outdoor temps got to the upper teens.
It is possible that the gear could have been exposed to freezing temps in the garage (but I don't really think it got that cold there).
There was certainly a little moisture in the BC bladder, but not pools of water, since I carefully drained it. It's possible there could have been a little water remaining in the nooks and crannies of the reg and other parts.
Do you think there's any real likelyhood of damage from minute amounts of moisture in this gear getting frozen?
If so is it an adequate test to hook up a tank, pressurize everything and just make sure inflator valves, regs, dump valves work o.k.?
Thanks.
