Tips for putting on a wet wetsuit?

[socaljohn]

Any tips for putting on a wet wetsuit. Like if you are diving in the morning and then later in the afternoon and the wetsuit has not had a chance to dry. Or even part way off if you need to use the head. I saw some Trislide silicon spray solution on line anyone tried it?

I wear a lycra skin under my wetsuit. It definitely helps to get it on and off.

Lycra for sure. Or baby powder. I like Lycra.

A wet wetsuit is much easier to put on than a dry one.

really soak it in, it is much easier to put it back on.

A plastic shopping bag will do wonders... with sliding through the wetsuit. Well it will help your feet and hands slide through. as for the rest of your body... just get your wiggle on. :dance2:

this is going to be interesting to explain lol

so i roll it out until i got very little left to put my legs in, about 6-7 inches, and get it past the ankles, after i got my feet through i just pull it up in small sections making sure that is stretched enough all along


if all else fails try wearing pantyhose lol

And if you're like me, and your wiggle turns into a jiggle, well, just apologize to everyone around you

My husband likes to use a diluted solution of hair conditioner on his skin -- says it makes the wetsuit just slide on.

Me, I dive dry

Wetsuit Lube. 1 part hair conditioner/4 parts water in a small spray bottle. Spray arms and legs of wetsuit, torso of wetsuit if need be. Be sure to wipe hair conditioner off feet or sand will stick and booties will slip. Choose a hair conditioner that does not offend the nose.
