Second hand wetsuit issues (?)
Hello, I just bought a "new" second hand Apeks thermiq 5mm wetsuit for less than half the retail price. I'm saying "new" because the tags are still on and it's never been used, but it's probably been stored folded for who knows how long. I'm wondering how much these small damages are going to matter and if there's any ways to fix em.
Pic 1: the wetsuit is kinda creased all around, they're not deep and i think they're mostly cosmetic. Are they gonna fix themselves with diving? I've also seen some people ironing neoprene clothes with a wet towel between the iron and the neoprene, but that's pretty scary
Pic 2: since it's been folded flat, there's two thin lines of compressed neoprene all around the wetsuit. I guess that in theory the suit is less insulated in those spots, i wonder if there's any practical difference tho. Pretty sure this one won't be fixed
Pic 3: there's a little spot of separation between the external lining of the suit and the foam layer. It's only in this spot right at the end of a leg. I'm pretty sure this one is cosmetic too, if it ever gets a little rip in the lining i can always patch it with some wetsuit glue or whatever is used. I wonder if by being very gentle with an hairdryer i can make the lining stick again. Stress on very gently, I'm not gonna cook the wetsuit and of course if i can't see any change I'm just gonna give up on it
Overall it fits nicely and the neoprene is nice and stretchy. It's been folded but at least it's been stored away from the sunlight.
Any thoughts? Of course it's not perfect but it had to be 40% of the retail price for a reason.
Thank you :)
