Wow I really feel like an idiot n00b.
Whilst CLEANING my suit… I didnt’ check the zipper… and flooded it! Doh!
I’ve never had a suit with non-detachable socks… so… any suggestions at how I should correct my stupid actions?

Well… at least I got all that condensation out!

Hey Doc,
The easiest way I can think of to dry out your suit would be to turn it inside out and hang it upside down by the feet and let it drain that way. There are things such as drysuit hangers with built in dryers.

Yep, got it inside out, hug it out… towel dried it and then put the heater on for 4 hrs!

Then the neoprene needed to dry!

I swear i’m the only person who can make a drysuit wet… whilst on land!

Any pointers to the drysuit hangers with driers?

I have been using he UK Hangair. Basically a large hanger with a fan inside. It dries out persperation, condensation and any water in less than an hour. The hanger has a large surface area so the suit has litle to no stress hanging on it. A fan blowing inside and a fan on the outside dries the suit very quickly. Well worth it in my book.
