Hello Forumites,
This post makes me feel like a newbie again.....................
I took the plunge on saturday and bought a wetsuit in the triuk sale. I have a quantum wet suit by FOOR and has to be said I love it.
I was told stuff in the shop whilst it was fitted and the endless pool swim bit but I have forgotten most of it due to the amonut of questions andwsers and chit chat that went on!!!
So could anyone tell me
1. How do I store the suit? On a hanger in a bag? I know I need to keep it out of sun light.
2. When washing it out after use do I just use cold fresh tap water?
3. Does it need to be completely dry before storing
4. Do I need to store it inside out
5. Is there a product I need to buy to rub on it to keep in good nik
Sorry for all the question but I an a touch in the dark
I bought the gloves to wear when putting it on and they are good.
Thanks Barry

If only I was famous enogh to get new one ever year.
Mind you yours must get alot of use feeding the sharks around the volcano island!
What if your suit has never seen salt water..is it advisable? Or just another product to sell us fools?
Again, if you're not in saltwater you don't have to be as careful, the only salt likely to corrode your suit is from your own sweat, but if your suit honks like mine after a swim on a warm day, it's best to give it a rinse just to keep significant others happy!
