Difference in drying time between soft weights

[Esprise Me]

So here's a profoundly unimportant question. I have two soft weights, both two pounders. One of them consistently dries much faster than the other, even when they're both exposed to the same conditions. You can see them here side by side. What's up with that?

Maybe one got wetter than the other?

How is your trim the deeper side was exposed to a higher partial pressure thus getting wetter.

Shot size would influence the wetted surface area, which would influence evaporation?

Now that you mention it, I do dive in vertical trim with one weight at my ankle and the other around my neck... and I'm 60 feet tall...

So my dad has a theory. He thinks the two weights weren't made from the same bolt of cloth, and that the quick-drying one has some water-resistant coating on the inside. That makes sense; that one just doesn't seem to get as wet, while the other one you can squeeze water out of.

Is one packed more tightly, allowing less air circulation than the other?

I don't think so. They look and feel exactly the same.
