Latex has a shelf life. Keep it clean, cool, out of sunlight. Do not sweat to much, or wear it to often. It will last 30 years. I still have my Sealwear latex mac I purchased in 1997. But it is coming to the end of its life.
Once it starts to degrade there is nothing you can do to stop it happening. Time to buy a new mac.

When not being worn for a while you will need to give it a light dusting of talc or chalk to stop it sticking to it's self. A bit of a nuisance as you have to keep cleaning it before you wear it, but the latex/rubber will then last a lot longer.
