Yeah, yeah I know...being an oversized clydesdale and maxing out the sizing chart on a suit is setting myself up for problems....but blowing the inner thigh seam on my B70 after only about 6 swims pissed me off.
Even more disturbing is that at least a dozen other swimmers in Portland had major problems with the B70 as well...plus I've gotten some emails from people who saw my post complaining as well.
B70 has a problem...thankfully it does appear that they will honor a one year warranty but lets see how long that lasts if they get buried with returns.
Add to this discussion the fact that I know of at least 6 swimmers who have raced in LZR's and had failures as well....at $400-$550 a pop I'm more than a little concerned.
I haven't had problems with mine but I'm very concerned about problems others have had
I've seen and heard of LZR issues
I'd also seen swimmers who poked holes in their B70's which I assumed happened because they weren't being careful enough when putting on their suit
now there's reports of swimmers ripping their B70 suits while wearing them
Some is because big guys are squeezing down into small suits
ie hoch 6'5" 190 putting on a size 26
Wonder how this will be resolved?
