First wetsuit I bought: Waterproof W5. Designed to be warmer than most in its category, which I wanted.
More than pleased to have paid extra for a premium brand. Then the stitches begun to run apart all over the suit after a single trip.
I have the option to send it back but for me that will take at least 5 months. From what I heard of others in my situation the blotched repairs are not worth the effort. Waterproof is not replacing the suits or giving the money back.
I was surprised for Waterproof to have done such an inappropriate job. My next wetsuit will be a Bare Reactive with taped-glued seams.

Drysuit, skin, or soap can make donning the suit easier.
