Har hört nånstans att man kan få våtdräkten att torka snabbare om man centrifugerar den en stund i tvättmaskinen efter att man sköljt ur den.
Det funkar ju på kläder & borde ju rimligtvis funka även på våtdräkten...men funderar på om det kan det påverka livslängden, elasticitet etc?

Nån som har testat?

1. HOT WATER RUINS NEOPRENE

In hot water neoprene looses some of the flexibility, so if you like to change in your shower after a cold water session take of your wetsuit first, then soak yourself in warmth.

2. SUN & UV RAYS AGE NEOPRENE
Do not leave your wetsuit on the sun! Sun is the neoprene worst enemy. Dry your wetsuit in the shadow if you can. UV rays cause the neoprene to age much quicker, it gets hard and looses its flexibility.

3. HOT TRUNK IS NOT A GOOD PLACE FOR A WETSUIT
Do not leave you wettie in the trunk of your car in a parking lot on a hot day. Cooking wetsuits can't be good, raw are much better.

4. DRY YOUR WETSUIT INSIDE OUT
Dry your wetsuit inside out. So you will keep the flexibility of the outer side and if the wetsuit is not completely dry when you are putting it on - you will still crawl into a drier side.

5. STORE IT NICELY
Store your wetsuit on flat surface or wide coat hanger. Do not mesh it into a small drawer. It says so in the wetsuit instructions for a reason.

6. CLEAN AND DRY YOUR WETSUIT QUICKLY
Do not leave you wet wetsuit to rot inside a bag, box wherever... all messy and sandy. Clean it and dry it. Regular care ands quite some time to the wetsuit lifespan.

7. SURF WAX ON NEOPRENE PROBLEM
Surf wax sticks to neoprene, get over it! There is no elegant way to put it off and it will rub on quickly again anyway.

8. THE MESSY DRESSING RULE
A wet wetsuit full of sand and mud is a riot to put on (not really). So when taking it off, stand on grass, on a rock, pavement, telephone booth, wetsuit changing bag, hotel carpet just not in the middle of the sandy beach (or wash it out in the sea after you change).

9. WASHING MACHINE NO NO
You do not wash you wetsuit in the washing machine and dry it in a dryer! So keep you mum, wife or girlfriend away from your dirty wetsuit. Clean it yourself.

10. IRONING? YOU ARE KIDDING, RIGHT?
It is not very wise to iron your wetsuit. Duh! Just by the look of it you can assume that rubbery stuff is not the place to put your hot iron. But still, this is the standard warning in the wetsuit instructions.

11. BLEACH? ANOTHER NO BRAINER
You should never use bleach or strong washing powder on your wetsuit. But there are some mild washing powders made especially for washing your wetsuits. Washing your wetsuit by hand!

12. MY WETSUIT STINKS NO.1
If your wetsuit stinks to much, above average smell is usually there because you left you wet wetsuit in a plastic bag for a while and you did not wash it right away. The smell is also the result of a normal sweat and body oils and odors that our bodies produce. These are breeding ground for the bacteria which are in fact the thing that smell bad in the wetsuit.

13. MY WETSUIT SMELLS FUNNY NO.2
The other reason for odor is your urine. Try not to pee (as much) in it, because pee also deteriorates the neoprene and leaves the worst smell of them all. There is a sollution to wetsuit odor.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!

hehe !

Jag brukar köra både min 6/4 o 3/2 i skölj program (kallt vatten o inget kem) med ett par minuters centrifug.
Har inte märkt att våtdräkterna har tagit skada av detta.

Det är inget man märker på en gång. men du kommer garanterat inte kunna använda den lika länge som en dräkt du sköljt ut med sötvatten och sedan låtit hängtorka med lite tidningspapper i ben & armar.
Värmen får gummit att torka ut mycket snabbare och livslängden kortas ner en del. Å andra sidan så kostar inte en dräkt så mycket idag.

En sak till. Tvättmaskinen... den tar mer stryk än dräkten på grund av allt vax, smut och små gummirester. Det sätter sig i maskinen och efter ett tag så... Tja, You do the math. Vad är dyrast?? Din dräkt eller en tvättmaskin??

Okej, tack för infon. Det lutar åt att dräkten får dropptorka även i fortsättningen.
Om inte annat för att skona tvättmaskinen!
