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.
Sorry been away for a while.... Maybe the suits are poorly made? All I'm reporting is that this is the experience of the swimmers that I'm selling suits too. I'm preparing my clients to deal with either poorly made stuff or elite suits that just will never last!!! I'm thinking if they are poorly made, then what will the cost be when they actually put good manufacturing behind them? $1000.00 - I can't take this anymore.. Ban the damn suits.
