I am into my third year on my first suit.  I spray about 3 times a 
season.  I just hang it in the barn.

Hmmmm.  I am not competent to answer that.  I think they are "non-
wicking".  

I also have a nose-and-mouth filter.  The feeling of spray wetting my 
lips is very un-nerving to me.

I never bothered.  They unzip.  I keep that dirty, old exterior on the 
outside when I put it on.  Spray the trees.  Take it off and hang it.  
Run into the house and shower with cool water and much dish soap.
