Convenient though, and useful. 30$ total cost. Ouch.

next time, just go to the dollar store and get some foam pool noodles. $.99 and I've covered several hangers worth. Works great.

I can return everything but the 1.48$ cap I drilled. What is a pool noodle?

As long as you don't leave them hanging for too long. Back in the day I was working at a windsurfing shop and had no idea. I hung up a whole rack of 4/3's on regular hangers. Half way into the summer, the shoulders were all wasted sending about 50 suits to the landfill.

Great idea. Used to use regular hangers but noticed they tend to deform/damage wetsuit if left hanging too long. Will try these this season!

Been throwing my suit in the back of my truck for years. Folded, crinkled, wet. I've found it under car jacks, tool boxes and 2x4's. Never been on a hanger. The stank washes off once you're in the water.......

I like the hanger he made, looks like in addition to your wet suit it could hold about a 12 pack if you were to pour the bottles into it.
