While on a multiday trip, dry when possible, and rinse in water, fresh if you've got it, every other day or so. They will stink up pretty bad if you don't clean the body detritus (dead skin, etc.) off the inside periodically. On return to home, or in camp between multiday uses, use Sink the Stink (or similar) to remove residual traces of body detritus, and allow to air dry. STS is available in paddleshops, dive shops, and similar. Store in cool, dark place, dry, when not used for several weeks. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR -- ----- Original Message ----- From: "John MacKechnie" <bigmac1_at_enter.net> > My wife and I just bought Farmer John/Jane wetsuits and would like some > suggests regarding use, care and cleaning. > > We'll be paddling in Maine next week. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
