Best way to store a wetsuit?

Folded in a bag?
Rolled in a bag?
Hanging up in wardrobe?
In the fridge?

Inside out?

Thoughts?

I always hung mine up, regular, not inside out. And on an oversized hanger for proper support.

And of course make sure it is DRY :)

Yeah, obviously it has to be dry before any of these methods can work well. I would hang it up in a closet. Folding can wear it out, and even start to tear it along the folds (I guess that's only if it's as old as mine, but still).

I hang mine up. If you don't have an oversized hanger (or wetsuit specific hanger) you can just use 5 or 6 hangers to spread the load. :)

Maybe hang it upside down so water wont collect in it.

No matter what you do, make sure it's completely dry before you store it. There shouldn't even be a concern about water collecting in it, because it should be completely dry to begin with.

Oh, and keep it out of sunlight. Don't be hanging it from a curtain rail ;)
