Washing a second hand drysuit undergarment

[TrimixToo]

If it’s not Thinsulate, pretty much can’t go wrong with turned inside out, cold water, gentle cycle, and not a ton of laundry detergent.

Hang to dry.

This only applies to fleece and polypro.

...and any Weezle.

12 years ago I sold my first Weezle Extreme + after washing it once, to a dive buddy. I was an idiot. Since then I've been using my Weezle Extreme +'s for over 10 years and many washings.
The only thing I like better than a Weezle, is a cute girl wearing a Wicked Weasel

Weirdly enough, it applied to my Aqualung undersuit as well. Except the turning inside out thing. It's a thinsulate/fleece combo.

I just read the washing instructions and followed them.

Santi says their thinsulate undersuits can be washed repeatedly. I have washed my bz400x a few of times without noticeable change in performance.

Here the instructions by DUI (mine is DUI)
DUI | Drysuits & Diving Equipment from Diving Unlimited International

DUI THINSULATE XM450™ / DUI THINSULATE™ XM250™

• Machine wash – Cold
• Wash the undergarment by itself
• Use a front loader machine if available
• Wash the undergarment twice:

First wash – use ½ of the soap you would normally use

Second wash – water only

• Lay flat to dry or tumble dry – low to no heat
• Dry the undergarment by itself
• Do not hang to dry
• Do not use bleach
• Do not use fabric softeners
• Do not iron
• Do not dry clean

To freshen up your undergarment due to odor, machine wash cold with one cup of white vinegar only.

We recommend wearing a base layer such as DUI ECODiveWear underneath your undergarment made with Thinsulate. The base layer will absorb odors and perspiration from the body and can be washed frequently.

For previous styles of DUI undergarments made of Thinsulate®, use a front loading washing machine only.

I checked my undergarment it’s DUI Actionware 300. The tag with laundry symbols has been cut off.

It’s actually fleece, not thinsulate I think

If it’s thinsulate, it would probably be quilted, like a bed quilt.
