Hi
I was just wondering if anyone else had had any problems with their Fjord HD drysuit?

I bought mine about three years ago and due to life getting in the way ive only done about 50 dives if that in it. I recently noticed, now that I have the time to get back in the water, that the glue that was used to seal the seams has totally cracked right through to the material. This is throughout the whole suit - arms, crotch, legs, and on at the pockets. It has also started the crack the neoprene in the socks and where the neck seal connects as well. These cracks range from a few millimeters to two to three inches. So its obviously no longer dry and as far as I can tell this is not due to wear and tear (I love my drysuit its get very good treatment!!) but due to the materials that were made to use it in the first place.

Has anyone else found this an issue with these drysuits?


Cheers
