Sometimes the neoprene can accumulate dirt and oils through repeated and often exposure/use. This could be making it feel "tacky". Why don't you buy a wetsuit shampoo from a local surf shop and see if that solves the problem? Another possibility is that the neoprene has been damaged from excessive stretching, and the tackiness you feel is from the neoprene breaking down.

Good Luck,
