my wetsuit is getting fucked up. the velcro is sticking to the inside of it when its hung up and the strings on the inside are ripping and chaffing(sp). how do you stop or reduce this?

same thing happened to my suit. you cant really fix it. if it is irritating your skin on your upper body, get a long sleeve rash guard to wear underneath.

i wear a rash guard under mine to stop the chaffing.  I dont know if this applies to you, but i also had to stop going bottomless in my suit :-( because it started to chafe my balls.

when you hang up your wetsuit, always velcro it like you're wearing it so it doesn't get more frayed.
