Hi there,
Taking advantage of the new Archimedes III coming out, I bought an Archimedes II which was on sale in Wiggle.
After 1 single try on of the suit (the suit fits well fyi), I already have 3 nail tears in one of the suit legs... The worst thing is that, I do not even know how I could have avoided them. I used plastic bags, used the knuckle thumb technique, even watched the instruction video from Huub with Varga.
Any tips on how to avoid this in the future? Handgloves? I just cannot imagine what I could have done different (which is exactly the same they show in the Huub video).
Anyways, until now Wiggle seem to be helpful, will see whether they can apply warranty or somehting. In my view this is just not normal for a product of this price range. Are other elite models from other brands also this fragile? If so, are those tears avoidable or does everyone go around in suits made of a mix of yamamoto and black witch glue...
Best,
Luis
