Wetsuit Prep before first use this season

This has been posted before but with the OWS season starting its a great reminder:

Before taking out your wetsuit for the first time since last season (or ever) give it a good soak in the bathtub and then let it dry out.

Wetsuits are like a sponge, when they dry out completly they lose flexibility. They become more difficult to put on and easier to rip. If you presoak it and then let it dry, residual moisture will still be trapped in the 'sponge' cells for weeks and will make it more supple.
