Drying Time Questions

[San Diego Climber]

TLS350 on a HangAir with the outer zipper mostly closed (slightly inflates the suit to reach the legs and feet) is dry in a few hours even with a few moderate leaks. Had a pretty good flood last week on a Sunday morning and was dropping the suit off for repairs Sunday evening; with a few box fans blowing at it inside-out, it was bone dry within an hour (San Diego climate).

I have a HangAir (wide hanger with a fan in it). Used it on my wetsuit and drysuit now. That takes of any dampness on the inside. Aim a turbo fan on the outside to get neoprene dry quickly.

I do the same thing. My old compressed neoprene suit dries pretty quickly. My Aqualung Fusion Bullet dries quickly inside with the HangAir running but takes a while for the outer neoprene skin to dry. At least a day.

I had a Fusion with the thin neoprene skin. A fan on it really helped with drying time.

It’s not going to work for air travel. I have taken it with me as I travel by car.

Thanks! I still want one.

Thanks -- responses are much appreciated. I was giving some thought to new toys for next dive season, but probably will stick with the laminate suit due to front zip, and dry time. The thought behind trying a neoprene drysuit was really looking at whether I could get more streamlined\less air in the suit and get away with fewer undergarments. Not really sure about that either -- a lot of my dives are in the 40s(F) for bottom temps and will probably need something fairly warm under the suit anyway.

You folks are really creative with drying technology. I current run a fan and dehumidifier in the basement where things dry. Wetsuits can really take a while still, though. I have hardly dove wet at all since getting the drysuit (except on vacation someplace warm).
