Those guys don't care about their products, if the big mainline guys cared, then they might be more original than all using the same three factories in China. I've been lucky myself with wetsuits having been in Peru for a year where a company called "Boz" make outstanding wetsuits, the only wetsuits I've ever had to beat an Excel on all fronts. Good service needs to be rewarded, they fitted it for me whilst I was there. When we started losing face to face contact and artisan skills we lost something more. Now my name is Ed and I'm size large and my price bracket is........ May be we should be paying a bit more for someone accountable down the road to make it, someone to take it back to, someone who knows you need a bit more girth in winter. On a bright note, I snapped my new FCS FG7's almost the second I bought them. My New Year's resolution was not to be such a consumer.I sent my fin off to France to the FCS headquarters and they sent me a new one, they paid postage and they sorted it fast. Good service should be recorded more. I like to think that FCS sent me the fin without a letter because the smoking french totti didn't want to blush over her english....sorry to lower it at the end.

Great fit and warmth but fell apart. They replaced the first one, the second one was no better, they have since got much more picky about replacements.... I will never buy rip curl again.........
