Who cares about drysuit zippers? We do and you should too. Short tutorial how to take care of the dry zipper used in Santi drysuits.

Washing:
• Always rinse the zipper with fresh water after dive (shower, bottled water etc.) on the dive site, boat or straight after returning home after dives. A little soapy water is also recommended. Do not use strong detergents.
• Wash the zipper from outside, on the sides and inside along the zipper
• Clean zipper with soft toothbrush outside, on the side and inside along the zipper

Drying:
• Dry with water absorbing cloth, towel and then a hair dryer (if possible)
• While using hair dryer remember to do it from a distance using cold air blow
• Dry every gap including under pleat (cover zipper)

Storage:
• Use wide hanger to hang the drysuit
• Leave the dry zipper open while drying and storage. You can close the cover zipper
• Store hanged in: room temperature, low humidity, dark room with no sun light.
• Avoid storing in a closed, humid box or drysuit bag

Lubricate:
• Use a lubricant recommended by the manufacturer. Do not use any other substance or grease.
• Use lubricant every time before the dive when suit is dry. Do not apply it for storage. Dirt can stick to it.
• Apply lubricant only at docking end: outside, on the sides and inside. Do not apply it on the zipper teeth.

Failure to follow the instructions may cause zipper damage and will void the warranty.
