O’Neill Wetsuit Drysuit shampoo and conditioner
People usually think that if you rinse wetsuit off with fresh water and hang it in the shade, you're doing everything necessary to improve your wetsuit durability. Well, not quite.
A good wetsuit is expensive. The investment can cost upwards of 100-400 Eur, so you should treat your wetsuit accordingly. If you spend in water 100 days in a year, it's easy to understand how much pressure you're putting in the neoprene.
Salt, the sun's rays, urine, contact with sand, and frequent stretching all take a toll. Wetsuits are always working for you and, therefore, they deserve a rest and proper treatment. That means using a special kind of shampoo formulated for neoprene wetsuits.
Wetsuit cleaner and conditioner is the best way to ensure your second skin will live a couple of years more. These products work as both disinfectant and cleaning catalysts, eliminating all small offensive particles.
Remember that hot water destroys your wetsuit's flexibility, so you should never wash your wetsuit in a washing machine. Always dry it inside out, indoors, as quickly as possible and away from sunlight.
No ironing or dryers, of course. And always store your wetsuit in a plastic bag.
Looking after your wetsuit requires patience, but it is worth it. You'll save hundreds of dollars/euros, year after year, and will enjoy a more comfortable wetsuit whenever you put it on.
