Have I ruined my wetsuit?

Postby YorkshireSurfer » Fri Aug 19, 2011 12:18 pm

Hey guys
Just got back from boardmasters in Newquay :beer:
The weather was quite nice so opted for my 3/4 summer suit and left my 5/3 rhino nenom in the boot of the car for a few days. When i came to use it later on in the week it didnt seem as water tight as it was, feeling at it now it feels less Stretchy :(
Normally if i wear it down in cornwall in the summer im uncomfortably hot :oops: but this time i was just a little warm. :(
I know its not a good idea to get them hot but i didnt expect to boot of the car to get that bad!

Have i ruined it for good or is it all in my mind???

Is there any treatment to try restore it in any way like a wetsuit wash?

Cheers

Unless you've melted the seals on the seams (easy to check - just look at them), it's all in your mind... the only thing that should happen to a wetsuit in the boot of a car is that it will stink.
