Default Washing Dry Suit Seals: Rinse?

My latex gaskets
last for a long time, but I think that is just as much from careful
donning of the jacket, drying and storing it out of the sun as it is
from rinsing away any sunscreen oil.


You use sunscreen on your face - but are careful when pulling the
neck seal over your head, right?


Actually, I almost never use sunscreen, and I also stopped buying
paddling jackets with a latex neck seal.

Only my drysuit has a latex neck gasket, but my semi-drystops all have
latex wrist gaskets, and I'm very careful with those.
