[@jasonsorrells4110]

Thanks Adrian!! Always important to do gear maintenance, Cool Tips, solid delivery!!🏞💧💯

One thing that I don’t think was stated but applies to all products with latex seals, is not storing it on a plastic coat hanger or in a plastic box as it degrades the seals faster.
I’ve learned this from experience and from others

[@paulquarg7847]

Thx

[@Senders]

awesome tip! everyday is a school day ha!

[@kevinburns4947]

Can anyone explain why plastic degrades latex seals. It's a new one to me.. They are mostly hung on broad plastic hangers in shops.

How should I store my gear such as dry-tops then?

[@alexbunn1905]

ThePizzaManTV people I’ve known always said on metal or wooden hangers
I just dry out on a hanging rack then store in the same dry bag I transport it in
Whatever works best

Replacing gaskets every couple weeks?! I clearly don’t paddle enough!

Thx 🙏🏻

[@kinsmansisters505]

Thanks for tips, 'washing it'... we just do it in the shower without any chemicals. I think that's right ??

[@paddlepaddlepaddle8147]

Just got a Typhoon Multisport Rapid, didn't even last it's first use....leaked straight away. Upper torso was soaked and so was my feet😫 LOL.

hello, how long does a drysuit dry if no water gets in? I have a good heater in my camper-van but wetsuits take forever to dry...

[@Senders]

hey! over night it usually drys out:)

[@paulgriffiths531]

When you are drying the drysuit, do you turn it inside out so the insides get a proper drying(then after a day, turn it back the normal way)? if not then I find its never really dry inside it

[@r1-ing]

I do! After washing I hang inside out for a couple hours or just before bed to assure all loose water is fully dripped. At that point it is damp but not dry. Then I turn right side out. Outside of dry suit captures, traps, and absorbs more water so I find once it is dry the inside is dry too because the material is fairly breathable to get rid of the remaining moisture on the inside.

[@sluin]

Don't dry your gear inside out, the inside is even more susceptible to the environment than the outside

[@efhn]

I just leave it sweaty- i know that no good. It´s smelly but trying to cooling it down

[@MatthewMachuDidge]

Don't buy a Stohlquist Amp... leaks like a sieve even with proper care!

[@miacampbell-spence7222]

Your meant to wash it?!?!

[@MartinMartin-yi9to]

Gaskets last 2 or 3 weeks? At this point why listen to the rest of your video?
