Storing a 7mm Neoprene Drysuit

[spectrum]

I have a dormant 7mm neoprene drysuit w/attached boots that has been hanging on the rack long enough. I don't have anyplace to store it laid of flat. I'm looking for tips on the best way to roll it up and store it in a big box.

If you roll it, roll it very loosely - you want to avoid creases as creases can cause leaks in uncompressed neoprene dry suits. Start rolling from the boots up to the neck. and leave the zipper unzipped.

Finding "the right" box may be the hardest part!

I bought a big metal wardrobe at the local hardware store & hang my wetsuits there.

Why store it? Diving is better.

I have an 8 foot rod loaded with dive gear and I need to make room.

My DUI takes a lot less lead and is a better fit now. That neoprene suit is a cozy thing though! I'm just keeping it as back-up.

I would never store any neoprene exposure suit (wet or dry) in any way except hanging up in a cool, dry, dark place. I think you will regret rolling it up.
