Advice-1 x 2mth old wetsuit:had the stitching fall apart on wetsuit,took back for repair with warranty,wetsuit came back with a tear in it,they told me it wasnt there fault,sent wetsuit back for repair.
Should this be replaced or should i just accept it,they did give me a spare wetty for now?

Rip Curl replaced mine.

Stitching is a big deal. That's what keeps the cold out. I'd not be happy and letting them know it.

What brand are we talking?

lose some weight fatty ! Ha Ha

It's gonna be like any other insurance company. They will deem what is the easiest/ cost effective way out of your warranty. Replace is most likely the case unless it is unrepairable. Mine have all been repaired in the past month although they have taken a beating when you are out almost every morning every week so I don't complain

Great reply to a funny comment.

How old was the wettie (sorry that may be up top) and lets us know for sure. With in 6 months I'd guess id be really pissed. After that I'd compare how'd used and cared for it but they should last at least 12 months IMHO

Just doubled checked 1 to 2 months i'd be demanding my money back/replacemnet. Honestly with the new Consumer Protection Bill that changed in Jan this year i think they would have no choice other than to replace unless it was written into the warranty that they may repear it if faulty.

good advice thanx,wetty was used only 3 times when it happened,all own wettys are looked after religiously and last at least 3 winters or 4

Im surprised the shop isn't doing more to help. Were did you buy it? If you don't want to list you can PM if you prefer..
