snorkeling gear + pool

[String]

My gear is used in the pool once a week and it discolours fairly quickly. My booties rooted after about 2 years.

I think chlorine is a lot worse for rubber than salt.

Edit:- Thats with rinsing. It'll get it eventually no matter what.

The pool is tough on the gear but oh well it is so much fun it is worth it. I think of it like tires on my car. They can either rot in the carport or rot while I am out having a good time riding around. I want to wear my gear out using it. I have bought used gear that has been in a closet that was rotted from lack of use....

Thebrain if you'd complete your profile, we'd know more where you're coming from.

Anyway, you do it. It's gear, it needs to be pool tested, you need the practice, so if it fades - you look salty. Just rinse it.
