Champion 7547    Albuquerque, New Mexico Bronze member | Subject: RE: wetsuit question How often do you use it? Emilio DeSoto posted on here a while back about wetsuits. They get brittle like a dry sponge does and he recommends soaking them prior to putting them on after prolonged disuse. |

Pro 15655 | Subject: RE: wetsuit question It has been my experience, from being around hundreds of kids putting on and taking off wetsuits that, WITHOUT QUESTION, Xterra suits tear much easier than any other suit I have been around. |

Elite 7783 PEI, Canada | Subject: RE: wetsuit question I just stopped caring after about 10 tears. As long as it doesn't go all the way through it's just a cosmetic thing (which I get it important). |

Extreme Veteran 695 Olathe | Subject: RE: wetsuit question I have a full and sleeveless Xterra and no issues for 14 years. One key is to through it in the tub few days before you want to wear it if you are not using it for long periods of time. The rubber will get brittle if not in water every so often. |
