That truly sux. Sorry.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.
I use the Trident DA22 drysuit hanger. It's not very expensive and fits inside my fusion perfectly without stressing the neck seal.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.
Leave them together. Actually I'm probabally wierd in this one:Rinsing the suit. Do you strip the skin off & do them separately or leave them together.
- Flip suit inside out and hang until the condensation is dry, about 30-45 minutes.
- Flip suit back rightside out.
- Get into suit wearing street clothes. Zip up brass zipper only.
- Get into shower.
- Luxuriate.
- Get out of suit and hang to dry (about 1 to 2 hours, skin attached).
Flat.Do you fold your seals in an 1" or so or leave them flat.
US as far as I know, but Tyler is the authority (as in all things Fusion related).Does Whites use UK or US size conventions for their boots.
<shrugs> Sounds like they're too big to me - if your LDS has a smaller pair give them a try?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.
Seal Saver every 4-5 dives or so, and zipper wax almost every dive, inside and out.I have no experience with DS so any hints, tips or suggestions would be appreciated.
Enjoy!
All the best, James
