So my Fusion arrived yesterday. Of course the weather collapsed today. 7 day forecast has wind at 25-40 knots, seas from 3-5mts & bucket loads of rain. So while I'm waiting to get it wet, a few questions.
What's the best way to hang the suit for drying. Mostly I see DS hanging by their integrated boots, not an option? or they're back entry & have been on shoulder/neck hangers, possible but not optimal IMO. What do you do.
Rinsing the suit. Do you strip the skin off & do them separately or leave them together.
Do you fold your seals in an 1" or so or leave them flat.
Does Whites use UK or US size conventions for their boots.
I have a pair of size 9 Evos but they seem far to big. I have about 1.5" between the ends of the boot & my tows. This is with thick, alpine merino wool sox & the the DS. When I put them into the foot pocket of my fins the spring straps force my tows into the front of the boot. Then of course the heel has been pushed away from the heel of the boot by 1.5". The boot seems to distort a little & its quite uncomfortable. I realise they need to be a bit larger than the norm but an extra 1.5" in length seems to be too much.
I have no experience with DS so any hints, tips or suggestions would be appreciated.
