I'd like to figure out a way so that they didn't get so stiff in the first

Most suit manufacturers recommend _against_ using Armor-All. 303 Protectant
is the preferred one.

I have a cheap drytop and an expensive drysuit. I dutifully apply 303 to the
neck and wrist seals of the drysuit and ignore the drytop. The latter is
about two years older than the drysuit.

The drysuit latex is showing signs of cracking and wearing out. The drytop
is coming apart at the seams, but the latex is like new. Go figure.
