    Well, because of me being OCD, I felt like trying on my wetsuit for no particular reason at all. It's an E2 RIP CURL E-Bomb 3/2mm and it tore on the taped seam near the ankle cuff. The outside stitching didn't tear, only the taped part. I guess I didn't slide it over my foot the right way... is it common and can it be easily fixed with neoprene cement, or is it a product defect?
