Had my f-bomb wetsuit for nearly a year and the neck seal has stretched and water enters the suit easily now. Any suggestions for a remedy? Doctor?

My f-bomb came with 12months warranty.
They replaced mine when the seals started to go, came with another 12 months warranty.
Get on the band wagon I say!

Is getting a smaller head out of the question?

Failing that check your receipt usually Rip Curl are great with their warranty procedure. Ive not had many problems so maybe its the material.

If you haven't got a receipt call them up. They once offered me a replacement wetty at wholesale because I didn't have a receipt.

If you don't fall off so much, it won't be a problem!

Bunch of geniuses and comedians eh.

Seriously, some gaff tape between the wetty and your neck should do the trick, so long as your neck is dry when you apply it.

Talk to Rip Curl about it.... they have one of the best after sales service and backup I have experienced...my guess is they will either repair it for you with a new neck panel or possible replace it.

bought my rip curl classic 3/2 around 97 and it's still going strong. Maybe the back zip is the way to go for longevity

entry technique is the way to go, get in half way, one arm at a time dont stretch the whole suit over both shoulders at once.
