I'm a Fish!
Hello everyone this may have been already talked about. I recently certified and have bought two wet suits and hangers. I have a 7 mm farmer John and jacket, and a 5 mm.
How do most divers store their wetsuits? I'm concerned about the weight on the shoulders if I leave them on a hanger. Sort of like a sweater. I was thinking about folding them up and placing them in a big plastic bin that I could seal. What are your thoughts?
 
Rinse, allow to dry completely, roll up and store in a bag or plastic bin. That's what I do and my wetsuits last me years.....and I dive quite frequently.
 
On a plastic hanger with a length of foam pool noodle split length-wise and a hole for the hook.
