The Importance of Proper Drying for Your Wetsuit

When you practice a water sport, your wetsuit is exposed to water, salt, sand and other elements that can damage it and impair its performance. This is why proper drying is crucial to preserve the life of your wetsuit and maintain its functional properties.

1. Preventing Mold and Odors : A wet suit that is not dried properly can become a breeding ground for mold and odors. Proper drying will remove any remaining moisture and prevent these unpleasant problems.

2. Maintaining warmth and comfort : A wet suit can lose its insulating properties, which can cause you to feel cold and reduce your comfort during your activities. By drying your suit properly, you preserve its ability to keep you warm in the water, allowing you to fully enjoy your sessions.

3. Preserving Materials and Seams : Moisture buildup can weaken your wetsuit’s materials and lead to premature degradation. Additionally, seams can deteriorate more quickly if left wet. Drying your wetsuit properly will extend the life of these key components.

4. Reduced Risk of Skin Irritation : A wet suit that is not dried properly can cause skin irritation, rashes and itching. By removing residual moisture, you reduce the risk of these annoying and uncomfortable problems.

Step by Step: How to Properly Dry Your Wetsuit

Step 1: Rinse with fresh water

After each session , rinse your wetsuit thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt, sand and other residue. Use a basin or outdoor shower if possible.

Step 2: Gentle spin

Once rinsed, gently squeeze your wetsuit to remove excess water without twisting it. Be careful not to damage the seams or delicate materials.

Step 3: Using the goDry Hanger dryer / clothesline

Hang your wetsuit on the Specially designed goDry Hanger drying rack . It keeps your wetsuit in an optimal position for quick and even drying . Integrated hooks provide you with a convenient space to hang your accessories, such as gloves or slippers.

Step 4: Dry in the shade and in the open air

Place the goDry Hanger with your suit in a place out of direct sunlight. Allow air to circulate freely around your suit for efficient drying . Avoid hanging it near a heat source, such as a radiator, as this may damage the materials.

Step 5: Flip and Rotate

After a few hours, turn your suit inside out to allow for even drying on all surfaces. If possible, rotate your suit every few hours to ensure optimal drying .

Best practices for regular maintenance of your wetsuit

1. Check seams and zippers regularly for damage or wear. Repair them promptly to avoid future problems.

2. Hand wash your wetsuit with a mild detergent recommended by the manufacturer. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the materials.
