Has anybody else heard about problems with the new Speedo Fastskin3 Women's suit? Apparently a Brazilian coach who is also a TV commentator (but based in Florida) is reporting on his blog that there's a defect in the women's suit bought before Feb 8th Just trying to get some factual information.

OK, so here's the scoop: Apparently there have been some ISOLATED instances of ripping or failure of the shoulder straps of the women's Fastskin3 suits (both open-back and closed-back). This has been an issue with the first batch of production suits, distributed to suppliers PRIOR to Feb 8th. Evidently somebody somewhere along the line missed a step in the sewing instruction manual or something; Speedo has been aggressive in reacting to this development (as you can well imagine). They claim they have corrected whatever it was in the production process so that there should be no further issues, and have been - by all accounts I am aware of - magnanimous in their handling of damaged suits, giving high priority to getting a new suit in hand to any swimmers who have experienced issues.
So, the take-away is, if you have gotten one of the early suits, be careful. If you have any problems, contact Speedo or your supplier and they should get it replaced for you asap. If you're thinking about getting one, you should be confident that there will be no problems with the workmanship from here on out.
Take care,
Brian
