I diligently searched the board, for all of five seconds, and didn't see anything on this topic.
After a gnarly case of folliculitis post surf session, went on a hunt to improve my wetsuit clean protocols, which have been good, but I think the issue I had was on the "get the suit dry side of the equation."
Just got this on amazon: Kinetics HangAir Hanger w/Built in Fan
I have used it twice, and so far it is great, I think I have been using it in optimal conditions = low humidity, but man the suit gets dry in roughly 12 hours: used it on a hooded 5/4 and a 4/3, both chest zips - the corner where the zipper starts still is a bit damp.
I then thought to add a boot dryer (REI $60), which in the end does not seem necessary, but helps and I figure in winter I will warm my suit up prior to surfing.
Obviously can't speak to longevity, and it is not quiet. I have a garage I can just let it run, so not an issue for me.
There are some other more expensive options out there, mostly not in stock and they mainly seem to come in European voltage....this one comes with multiple outlets, one of which is 120volt.
Here is the full set up in action yesterday, suit is dry, and ready to go for today...worth the $75 IMO.
