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.
Only 5 swims, but no problem so far. However, now I'm getting paranoid.
Buying the suits as small as humanly possibly doesn't seem like the best idea ... They do seem very small in the butt area. Thus far, I've had more problems with the Pro. Really never though about a LZR because I thought they were even more fragile than the Pro.
