How do you know when it is time for a new wetsuit?

I think that (other than it wearing out) if it no longer keeps you warm at the same temps that it once did

when I have the extra money and there is a new design (feature) that I like; then it is the time for a new suit (or any dive gear for that matter )

When you can no longer zip it up.

When you can no longer zip it up.

This is why I got Ultra Strech version of my westuit.It's more forgiving

 

[Keith & Sharon]

Agree completely. Currently looking at the Henderson Superstretch. My XXl still looks new but requires help to zip it up. It's either lose weight or buy a new one....

Nevermind, I'll just buy the new one....

I find that they usually loose their color, go thin and then tear easily, that the time to get a new one!

I'll let you know when I figure it out... this one is still good, at least during summer and fall.

keep your old suit for spare and buy a dry suit when there is a sale...

It's time for a new suit when the old one smells like #1 and looks like #2.
