I send my 7 year old O'neill drysuit in every year for repair, and it always comes back like new. O'Neill is a great company. My situation is that after 2 or 3 weeks of use it starts to leak again due to my DonJoy knee brace. I just live with that fact of early spring skiing. However it would be cool if someone figured out a way to make the knee portion of these suits "stretchier" so as to fit over braces. I do not want to go baggy suit.
