My zipperless wetsuit did not last more than 5 months

Had a quiksilver highline one. It is awesome, super snugged and water doesn't get in. It also rarely get the neck flush. I try to be careful about getting out the wetsuit but I just noticed the threads in the armpit is loose and already has a hole. The string that tighten around the chest is also broken because I forgot to loosen the clip before taking it off.

I think I might try the backzip again and see if they would last longer as this is going to cost me a fortune if I have to get a new one every year. :roll:

I find that all brands have a lesser model, like the ripcurl dawn patrol or the oneil epic, they are not durable either. For a good value and price I actually like Ricourl Ebomb and Xcel Infinite, both are higher end but not the highest, so not as cheap as the bottom lines but for me they last, they seal and they are comfy. I don't fit well into oneils but their psycho1 is also a good mid price option

E-bomb go sure!
How many sessions per year? Every day surfing and once per week make a huge difference
