By now they should be dry.

I'd stick to what the tag says. Unless you are willing to replace it.. if the dryer kills it.

The tumbling action of dryers can break down insulation, and you need the loft of the insulation to maintain its bulk and thus warmth.

Now I have a German made Miele clothes washer and matching dryer that has programmed cycles so gentle that they can handle garments made to be hung dry, but unless you have a $2000 European washer and a matching $1800 dryer, don't chance it.

Hand washing and hanging up to dry REMARKABLY prolongs the life and appearance of drysuit undergarments. Lint in a washer and dryer is the garments breaking down.

Never, ever follow manufacturers suggestions for maintenance. It's a conspiracy to make you ruin your gear and have to buy more.
