Torn knee seam on O'Neil Epic 2 wetsuit

Postby CoastRider » Tue Aug 04, 2015 8:04 pm

Hi Guys,

Knee seam has come apart on my Oneil Epic 2 5.5mm wetsuit - is this repairable? I've only had it since April :(

It's split along the top of the kneed pad seam:

If it is a seam, you should have the shop you bought it from do a warranty on it.
This is ofc if you have good conscience and have used the suit correctly.

It's a warranty claim when the seam goes like that. We (O'Neill Wetsuits in Europe) can deal with it through the original retailer that you bought it from. Just get it back to them.
Cheers,

Yeah try the warranty first. Hopefully they take care of you.

if they snub you, Aquaseal the piss out of it. Then your O'neill suit will soon be like mine-
90% Aquaseal, 10% Neoprene. :lol:
