How to Wash a Croc and Other Cool Stuff

How to Get Into a Wet Suit
Wriggling into a wetsuit invariably makes you feel like a sausage being stuffed into a too-tight casing. One way to ease the transition: put your feet into plastic bags (the regular supermarket kind do just fine), pull the bags up to midcalf like socks and then slide your wetsuit on over them. The bags then slip out easily, leaving your wetsuit properly positioned on your shins. And yes, this is better than the popular method of lubing up with a commercial cooking spray, which can degrade the rubber on your suit.
