I would like to know when Mares stopped honoring the warranty on new equipment purchases, and if anyone else is experiencing similar problems. I purchased a new Mares wetsuit, 7 mm, full-length for cave diving in March, 2013. Three months into using the wetsuit, the seams under both arms started to separate. I stopped using the suit, contacted the store where I bought the wetsuit and was told they didn´t honor Mares warranty. I contacted Mares directly, explained that I had purchased the wetsuit from an authorized dealer, submitted my receipt, sent copies of the defective wetsuit, and was assured that my defective product would be replaced. To this date, I have not had my defective wetsuit replaced under the terms of Mares warranty (two year warranty period from date of purchase). My emails, phone calls and skype messages go unanswered. Right now, I am dealing with local agencies to try and force the company to honor its warranty. I cannot believe that Mares would show such disregard for customer service. It´s a slap in the face to all divers.
