Hey, swimmers. I've had my two wetsuits in my closet for around two years now. They feel dry, but they are dripping are the bottom still. Anyone know why?

You might have had a pocket of stale water when you shelved it that unsettled when you moved it, or water in between the neoprene and nylon. Wetsuits are designed to trap water so think of that

But for two years? I'm not educated on wetsuits, so it seems odd.

The only openings for water to evaporate through are the extremities and neck hole. The nylon can absorb water but neoprene doesn’t, and my wetsuits are bare neoprene on the inside so leaving water on the inside with little to no openings is essentially leaving water in a mostly sealed rubber sack which won’t evaporate in your closet

What's the climate control like in your home? If the closet is cold and damp it could have moisture that condensate in the suit and drip down. If that's the case you probably are at risk for mold issues and water damage. So look into that.

any chance there is salt in that there wetsuit OP? If you last used it in the ocean and failed to rinse the salt from it, it is still absorbing moisture from the atmosphere and dripping. Salt is good like that, that's why it can be so corrosive. amiright?
