Dry suit seal rot prevention

[49208]

Before I shell out $ for Aquaseal Seal Saver and some zip lube, can anyone tell me if they have used Armour All or 303 protectorant for keeping their drysuit seals from rotting ? (I have both of those sitting in the garage)

Any alternatives for the zipper lube ?

Thanks

Not too sure about the use of amourall, it makes sense, but with new and synthetic materials out there, who really knows except a materials chemist,

as for the zipper lube, use parifin wax. It is USCG requirement that the zippers of the emmersion suits (a.k.a. Gumby Suits) they are basically giant wet suits that are designed to keep a shipwrecked sailor alive. One piece thick neopreme, you all get the idea,

but the fact of the matter is, the Coast Guard regulations state that the zippers must be lubed with parifin wax to keep them free of corrosion and working properly, so in short, Parifin wax.
