Hi Slowtwitch,
In preparation for my first olympic distance triathlon last summer I bought a Zone3 Advance wetsuit (https://zone3.com/products/mens-advance-2). I used it around 15 times last summer for open water swims, and I've used it this season again around 15 times in the local lake.
Quite early this season I noticed several rips and tears around the shoulder, I tried my hand at repairing the damage but the area is just too large and spreading all the time. There are now rips on both the front and back of the shoulders on both sides.
My question would be, is this in line with the life expectancy of an entry level wetsuit or could it be that I am e.g. missing some critical care instructions?
