Wetsuit struggles

Has anyone found a product/method that works well for getting into a wetsuit easily? I've read that unscented, diluted hair conditioner works.

Re: Wetsuit struggles

I’ve heard of people put grocery bags on their feet to get in easier. I have used talcum powder on my drysuit seals and it helps.

Re: Wetsuit struggles

I wear rash guard under mine. I put mine on while wearing thin socks and take the socks off afterwards sometimes

The pricey solution if you have an older suit is a new suit. Newer neoprene are softer and more stretchy.

Re: Wetsuit struggles

I use the grocery bags method. I have the most trouble taking the suit and booties off. Kind of yucky, but makes taking them off easier. Somewhere I have some neoprene socks that helped too and helps keeping warm. (Now I'm wondering where they are??) I'll have to try the talcum powder method.

I used nylon socks. It is like butter.
I guess rash guard can help for the upper part.
