As a watersports enthusiast, you’ve invested in a high-quality wetsuit to keep you warm and comfortable in the water. But what about the care and storage of your wetsuit? Often overlooked, the way you hang your wetsuit can significantly impact its longevity and performance. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the importance of using heavy-duty hangers specifically designed for wetsuits and why it’s crucial to choose the right ones.
The Perils of Poor Wetsuit Storage
Improper storage can lead to a variety of issues for your wetsuit:
-
Stretching and Deformation: Thin, flimsy hangers can cause the shoulders and neck of your wetsuit to stretch over time, compromising its fit and insulation.
-
Damage to Seams: The weight of a wet wetsuit, combined with the stress of hanging on a weak hanger, can put undue strain on the seams, leading to tears and leaks.
-
Mold and Mildew: If your wetsuit isn’t allowed to dry properly, it can become a breeding ground for mold and mildew, which can damage the neoprene and cause unpleasant odors.
-
Reduced Lifespan: All these factors combined can significantly reduce the lifespan of your wetsuit, forcing you to replace it more frequently.
