Bought a rear zip suit for a dive trip. Before first dive I noticed some loose stitches in the neck seam. By dive two, I had a 4-6 inch gap in my anterior neck seam and another in anterior right shoulder seam.
Bought suit with Amazon and was able to retur item.
I liked the suit ( fit, warmth, weight) so I assumed this was an unfortunate isolated item and I am considering purchase of a front zip full suit.
As I read reviews, I find someone reporting a complete split of the inseam on a suit with very little use.
Is this a recurrent problem? Should I stay away of the brand and consider some other technical suit? Anyone else with similar problems?
 
I bought a Sharkskin and the outermost layer has delaminated from the rest. I'm sending it buy to the shop I bought it from. I really like the suit, but I'm thinking I should ask for my money back instead of a replacement.
 
Like you, I like the comfort and wind and temperature advantages of the suit
but hesitant about getting another one. Was hoping for more pro or con
responses. I did meet someone on a trip that had owned one for 2 years without any issues
