Experimental drying times you can expect for your equipment for different wetsuit thicknesses and weather conditions.
Wetsuit thickness 3mm (Does not require inside out)
Ambient Temp. 85ºF / 29ºC = 20 minutes
Ambient Temp. 65ºF / 18ºC = 45 minutes
Ambient Temp. 45ºF / 8ºC = 60 minutes
Wetsuit thickness 4 to 5mm (Does not require inside out)
Ambient Temp. 85ºF / 29ºC = 45 minutes
Ambient Temp. 65ºF / 18ºC = 60 minutes
Ambient Temp. 45ºF / 8ºC = 90 minutes
Wetsuit thickness +6mm / other equipment (
Requires inside out)
Ambient Temp. 85ºF / 29ºC = 60 minutes
Ambient Temp. 65ºF / 18ºC = 80 minutes
Ambient Temp. 45ºF / 8ºC = 100 minutes
Drying times experienced by users may vary due to a wide variety of factors, including:
- Environment relative humidity (%)
-
Effective airflow: a folded suit will prevent the airflow to circulate freely.
-
Lack of ventilation: drying in a small closed room, might cause longer times.
-
Drain time: if you rinsed your wetsuit, it may need time to drain water before hanging.
-
Requires inside out: a thicker wetsuit (+6mm) might require to turn it inside out to achieve a perfectly dry and ready to store feeling. Nonetheless, if you need a quick dry to get back to water in the afternoon, with shorter drying times you will also achieve a decent dry feeling on the inner side.
