Orca clothing concern

hello all,

I have an issue with orca clothing and wonder if anyboby else has run into the same problem. I purchased an elite skinsuit last spring and some black/white tri shorts this fall. I used the skinsuit for 4 sprint tri’s and a few TT’s. I was happy with it, but for the price I would not purchase again. I started to notice that the nylon or whatever it is made from was becoming transparent. I have been swimming now for probably 4 months in the tri shorts for about 4 times a week for an hour or so. I have started to notice the same thing but it is worse than the skinsuit. Any place where the nylon is sown together it appears to be coming apart. The small white stretchy fibers are starting to come though. In this instance, a speedo probably would cover more. Anybody else have this problem? I just purchased the new cervelo skinsuit, TT top, and tri shorts from BSM, and have to say they are fantastic.

yeah i had same problem last year. also ripped a back pocket for the tri suit in race. sent suit back to Orca, customer service was great. repaired my suit and returned it quick, but it would’ve been better not to tear in first place. for the price, i don’t want it to rip the 1st time i wear it in a IM. would not purchase again. Sugoi and Louis Garneau are both fantastic and i highly recommend them.
