How long can you hang a wetsuit without damage

Just cleaning the closet, and realized that i haven't used my wetsuit in over two years. It's been hanging on a hanger with the,arms folded in,and the legs folded up,flipped over the shoulders, all this time. My boots, gloves, and hood have been in a mesh bag hanging on another hanger. Wondering if this is really bad for the suit, and whether I should give it a bath or anything? Gotta try it on and see if it still fits. :o

I have wetsuits and a dry suit ice had hanging for 20 years or more. Large hanger is key to spread the load. As long as the fabric is intact you are good.

Creative use of pool noodles or pipe insulation can help in preventing hangers from doing any damage to your wetsuit. :D
