Dry Suit Question

[Keeled Over]

Hello folks,

Dry suit question.

I finally got one. In spite of the warm air temps I wriggled in, zipped myself in and off I went across Little Tupper Lake last week. The water was actually pretty warm, and on my return I packed the suit in my pack.

I know for storage the plastic zippers are to be closed. For packing as I did, should I have had the zippers open or closed? I was concerned about too much pressure possibly damaging the zipper either way. I left them completely unzipped and packed it as lightly as I could, so no issue so far.

Thank you!

It doesn't matter whether they are open or closed for short duration. But, do use your zipper wax, often, and keep the zipper clean
