It's better to hang it, or fold it loosely with all zippers open (to avoid
compression). Why roll it in a ball? Do you have a severe storage problem?
Maybe you should take that old business suit out of the closet, roll that
in a ball and put it in a bag, and hang the more useful drysuit in its place.
