Depends how well they get looked after

Apply pure, unscented talc to them - it soaks up the oils your skin leaves, and any outside contamination, and stops them degrading the rubber.

<font color='#0000FF'>Hello Dom,

So you think I should add talc even after fresh water rinse.

Pierre, keep them away from the sun!!! Rinse good with fresh water. Hey that's where the trouble is. In Malta the sea water runs in the taps.....

I use baby powder - I know a million times I was told that the perfume is bad. Had the suit for 2 years and 4 months and (TOUCH WOOD) &nbsp; they're fine even though I still use the same powder.

If by any chance you are diving in cold weather (not in Malta) take care stretching the latex. It wouldn't stretch as much and it will break. &nbsp;

Your main enemies are the salt water and the UV rays.

Oh by the way a quick fix would be using duck tape.

<font color='#000080'>We picked up a couple of Bottles when we returned from Stoney in Feb. I think that alas as Porg has left her vet job for the new one selling boats that she'll be running low on stocks?
