Hi,

I suppose you do turn your suit inside out to let it dry. With a membrane suit that's our way to do it if the weather is fine.

When it's rainy or cold outside or hanging it on the next tree is not an option for whatever reason, we have what we call our "Drysuit Dryer(TM)". Basically it's a whirlpool (like this - sorry don't know the correct English term http://image01.otto.de/pool/formatb/1307053.jpg ) with the mat taken off. You just stuff the hose into the drysuit leg, close the zipper, 30min (mostly automatic switch-off!), other leg, 30min, done. Worth every cent.
I don't know if it is an option for you, though, since it uses some space when travelling. They do come in different sizes, so have a look around!
