How long can you expect a set of Zipseals to sit on the shelf waiting for your old standby's to blow out?

I ordered my CLX450 Signature Series today (oh man now I have 4-6 weeks to get it :( ) and was thinking about getting a back up set but don't want to leave them on the shelf for a few years only to find out they are shot from sitting around.

If you get a spare pair of Zip Seals put them in a Zip Lock baggie. My spare set of seals are in a Zip Lock baggie (wrists seals in one bag and the neck seal in another). When the suit is not being used for a while I also put my primary Zip Seals in a Zip Lock baggie.

I also treat them with Aquaseal Seal Saver to help preserve the quality of the latex.
