1. Opening the bag - waterproof zipper seal

The bag has a normal cloth zipper like on regular clothing, but it is covered with an orange plastic strip glued on with rubber cement. The strip forms an airtight seal protecting the contents from degrading due to oxidation.

 

Once I remove the strip the perishable rubber parts will begin to slowly oxidize, though if I repacked the suit and applied rubber cement over the strip I could reseal it again to stop the decomposition.
