Equipment storage

What is the best way to store a 5mil wetsuit and my BC? I currently have
them hanging on hanger in the closet but was wondering if laying the wetsuit
flat might be better.

Hang the wetsuit on a wide hanger. Inflate the BC slightly and hang it
up as well on a BC hanger. There are several brands of hangers to
choose from - I prefer the Underwater Kinetics (shown on their web site
at http://www.uwkinetics.com/CategoryDi...grfnbr=839.htm)

Probably not. Many wetsuits nowadays have articulated joints, and
therefore should be hung up. Laying flat also increases the chances of
creasing the material, which is not good for it.

Either way, it's going to shrink. Just keep it on, never take it off.
