I have the pink suprema plastic pants. I was wondering if there is a way to keep the plastic from getting hard. I live in arizona (not sure if thats the problem). I do not use any liquids or gels with them, just their intended purpose. After use I always wash them in the washer and hang them to dry. I just want them to last longer. This is what i found on their website, but it seems the white pants doesnt do this as bad as the pink ones. So what does every one do to make theirs last longer?

Avoid extended soaking in order to prevent water from entering welded seams through small, unavoidable wear and tear defect (takes forever to dry).
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight.
Note: Yellow X is more resilient to oils and urine - but NOT resistant. Exposure of Yellow X to oils will cause it to age - just a little slower than the other materials.
Regularly rinse the used pants with warm water. Alternately, very briefly immerge the pants is warm water. Use of a very soft detergent or soap is recommended, provided it is rinsed off thoroughly.
In cases of diseases (skin, infections, digestive system, genitals...) or open wounds, thorough use of soap is strongly recommended. But do avoid lengthy soaking for the reasons listed above.
