Is there a way of storing them so they dont dry right out, Ive found that the zips get a fragile after been stored for the summer, my last two RCs died in a similar way

I do two things (one or the other):

Hang them full length on a 'suit' coat-hanger (you know the ones with the much wider shoulder ends - so they don't damage the material around the shoulders) in the spare wardrobe where it's dark and dry.

Fold them in half and store them in a sealed plastic tub in the shed. Again - dark and dry.

Never had a problem.

Stick 'em in the cupboard with the rest. If they are screwed next year get your missus to get you another one.

Cross the arms in front and roll from head to toe put in a spare drawer. A bit of silicon spray in the zip to keep the mechanism free.

Somehow wreck them and send them back to the suppliers

Mine's been sent away for the last few months and still nothing. It'll be winter by the time I get it back. You don't realise how great wetsuits are when you're sitting out there in boardies and a rashie even at this time of the year!
