    Default BARE Wetsuit

    My BARE wetsuit is less than a year old and has only about 10 dives on it but the seams are coming apart, especially at the zippers. Anyone else have this problem?

    This is why buying all your dive equipment from a reputable LDS is the way to go. You take your wetsuit to the place you bought it, and THEY get the manufacturer to take care of them, then the LDs gets you a new suit in return. A mail order house is going to ignore you.

    Some of the 3mm suits don't hold up at all to abrasion.

    Send the suit directly to the manufacturer if you didn't buy it from a store, or go into a LDS, but a decent ticket item, then talk to the owner and see if he or she can help

    or go directly to the manufacture's warehouse I can personally vouch for Body Glove. I had a three year old surf suit 3-2mm and it was falling apart, took it to the warehouse and they didn’t want to bother me by fixing it, but they offered too. Better yet, they gave me a brand new wetsuit for free, it was better than the one I had previously.

    My wetsuit is coming apart at the seams too ... and it feels very tight, as if it's shrinking ... I'm sure it has nothing to do with my lust for cookies ...

    I don't think it's the neoprene, it's the fact that most seams now seem to only be glued on the inside and stiched on the outside.

    ha ha ... I got a mental picture of this guy in a bulging wetsuit with a guilty look on his face ... "cookies? No, I think we are out of cookies . . . "
