washing a dry suit

[davidbennett]

I ve got a typhoon drysuit - can I wash it?

[philpot]

Best bet is to contact Typhoon for guidance David, must confess I never washed mine as in a washing machine although I have sat in the sea and sponged it down when it got a bit manky then just rinsed it down with the hose pipe when I got home.

Probably been washed by now Mr Bennett x ! ( a bit of a delay in comms lol : ))

I usually use warm soapy water, inside and out.

Rinse out well with warm water only thoroughly, suspend upside down to drain excess water.

I then turn it inside out to dry naturally, on washing line.

And repeat, for the outside to dry.

I've had my drysuit for 10 yrs and I clean it after every session.

Redone the cuffs, during it's life only because of contact with petrol

Might invest in a neoprene neck, instead of latex ?

Or might even go for a new suit !

Don't mention to the missus..
