picked up a used O'neill wetsuit & since wetsuits are like "intimate" wear, was wondering how I should decontam it. was goin' to just let it soak in the tub in mild dish washing det. or do I have to go out a buy that Special wetsuit soap ?

Dont stick your suit in the washer or dryer....all the labels will tell you the same. It could damage your suit. I would get some wetsuit shampoo!
That you can find at your local shop or as always on my website Phase One Surf.com

went with the 5 gallon bucket of H2O & a cap full of Bleach, all's well. the funny thing is this is the second o'neill I have bought on ebay (both smoking deals) but they both don't fit (i'm 6'3" 215 pounds) Looking for a Third this time XLTall. Guess thats what happens when you buy used sight unseen.

No such thing as a good deal if it doesn't fit :!:
