Wetsuit Hospital

My wetsuit's gone to the Billabong Hospital this week. A bit of back story: One of the seams is beginning to split, which results in a bit of a cold spot through the stitching. I've been looking into ways of repairing it and one of my options was to get some neoprene and use the Black Witch glue (this is the best glue in the world by the way) I bought a while back. I went into one of the surf shops in Century City, happened to mention the suit was Billabong and they sent me straight to the Billabong shop saying that they should repair it for a small charge. So into the Billabong shop and the guys working there couldn't have been more helpful, telling me that Billabong suits have a lifetime warranty in the seams and that they could send it away to repair no problems. So there we are, the suit is in the shop so we just have to wait and see what the outcome's going to be. If as I'm hoping it's going to come back repaired we're looking at probably one of the greatest reasons to buy a big brand suit and particularly Billabong. Fingers crossed..
