Default Over-the-winter drysuit seal retention

Quit using armor all. That is the worst thing for vynal or latex. Use
303, a water based preservative. I also store my drysuit in a tightly
sealed black plastic bag. Too many people just hang the suit in a closet
where the oxygen (ozone) in the air can reach it and cause the
deteriation of the seals.

Hi Folks,

This one has been bugging me for a while. My drysuit seals always become
extra-dried-out over the winter. I remedy this with judicious care and
spraying heavy amounts of Armor-All to get them flexible again. However,
I'd like to figure out a way so that they didn't get so stiff in the first
place.

Suggestions? Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Best,

Chuck
