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.
Did anyone stack bodysuits at Nats as ande suggested?
The only stacking I noticed was that some guys wore a brief under their bodysuit. Some of those bodysuits are pretty much transparent so I think the brief was there for coverage.
On that note, can I get a ruling on whether we need to change what "pulling a Smith" means? I was right there at ground zero waiting for my 100 fly heat when the horror unfolded... er, unthreaded. :eek:
