      None after 3 years, but some of the seams are getting dodgy. I'm probably just getting fat

    Sealed all the holes with glue - how do I put the suit on now?

    I'm really enjoying GTN. I've been practicing Sprint triathlon 18months from now here in Brazil.
    Thanks to bring us so much good information about the triathlon World.
    It would be Nice if you guys bring something about Xterra triathlon!

      It's like what happened to Matt years ago. He predicted GTN.

    Great video, keep it up GTN. How about a video on cutting your wetsuit legs slightly shorter for super speedy T1? I want to do this but am nervous about taking a blade to my beloved neoprene!

    Thank you for the video! Just tried on my wetsuit for the second time recently and it ripped right at the cuff seam 😕😆

  • @Nigelv

    I dropped a gel 10 minutes before a half and bent over to pick it up and ripped a hole about 10 cm across a seam. It was a rough start to a rough day :)

      That's terrible luck! Hope the race went better after this 🤞

    Are those Heather's Olympic Gold Medals? They look awesome in the background.

    • @jamesambrocio
      @jamesambrocio 7 лет назад

      I thought she was a silver medalist?

    • @alexian81
      @alexian81 7 лет назад

      Yes, you are right (I searched again the first videos). Those medals look great, nonetheless. No matter what they are for.

    • @alexian81
      @alexian81 7 лет назад

      You are right (I rewatched the first videos :D ). They look great, nonetheless. No matter what they are for.

    what if it's full of holes under the armpits? Is there a good fabric to patch all the holes?

    Hello very nice video!! Can I ask you one question? I have a nice tyr cat 1 wetsuit who has the arms destroyed
    By many cut and giant hole!) I have repaired it randomly and bad but keep
    Breaking every swim. Do you think I can cut the arms to make the wetsuit a sleeveless? And how if yes?

    How to deal with seam rips?

  • @pdcole2
    @pdcole2 5 лет назад

    lots of 1 - 2 cm tears in both underarm areas of my < 2 year old wet suit. Gluing only solves the problem until next use then a whole bunch of new tears spring up. Should I buy a new suit?

  • @mochidomo
    @mochidomo 7 лет назад

    Do I need to repair a wetsuit if its like a blister type damage? It does not go all the way through the wetsuit.

    How do you tell when it's time to replace a wetsuit?

    • @gtn
      @gtn  7 лет назад

      It's very difficult to answer however it's definitely worth replacing when you feel that the performance of the suit is dropping.

    This year we have a much better solution. ULOW Liquid PVC, without patches and very fast.
    Wellcome to test.
