Follow the suit manufacturer’s dressing, rinsing, drying and storage instructions. Keep sand and salt away from the zip, avoid sharp objects and fingernails, and check compatibility before using a cleaner or lubricant. Open-cell interiors and dry main zips can need different care from lined neoprene and conventional zips.
