How to Fold a Drysuit

If you prefer scuba diving with a drysuit, your gear can get unruly once you're finished and ready to pack it back up. Our Gear Editor breaks down the easiest way to fold a drysuit so you can easily get it back into your luggage and on your merry way.

How to Fold a Drysuit

Suit should be clean and completely dry
On a clean, flat surface, lay the suit with the zipper open and facing down
Tuck the neck and wrist seals in to protect them; you can dust latex seals with talcum to keep them from sticking
Fold the legs up so the tips of the boots or socks go just above the shoulders
Roll the suit up in folds about 12 inches long
Avoid sharp bends, especially in the zipper
Fold the arms in
Store in a sealed plastic bag
