Subject: I'm a happy De Soto wetsuit owner

After reading a bunch of threads about wetsuits on BT and renting another other brand, I purchased a De Soto Black Pearl wetsuit from tri-zone.com. I wore it twice in the first two weeks (one training and one Tri), and was bummed to see the crotch seem had split open.

I wrote tri-zone.com asking how they wanted to handle it, and they had a new wetsuit on my doorstep in four days with a prepaid label to return my wetsuit to De Soto. Not only that, but De Soto upgraded me to a First Wave because they didn't have a Black Pearl in my size.

Wow! I'd read about De Soto's great customer service (it was part of my purchase decision), but the service I experienced from both De Soto and tri-zone.com was far beyond my expectations. I couldn't let it go without saying something on the forums.

I love my DeSoto wetsuit and I have a crotch hole that I need to send it back to have fixed but training for IM I couldn't be without for a couple weeks.

Now I'll send it back and they assure me they'll fix it within a couple of weeks.

I have been to thier warehouse several times, its a small mom and pop operation, they have some retail but its mainly a warehouse and two ladies sewing. I think it was the owners wife that always helps me, as soon as you walk in they make several things obvious, they truly enjoy what they do, they want you to be a customer for life at thier expense.

I got the speed tube pants so I could take advantage of the bouyancy before I was completely sold on the whole wetsuit is faster thing.  The staff  was  super helpful.

Then I bought a  matching top on ebay and it had some problems, (old model, ect.) talked with the guys there via email and they repaired and retro-fitted that suit with a new zipper. 

These guys really take care of you.

FYI, I am now in the wetsuits are a huge advantage camp.

I LOVE my Desoto!! But I cannot say the same for the local shop that sold it to me. When I ripped the back of it I brought it to the shop, and they assured  me they would send it back to Desoto.....I waited and nagged and begged and pleaded, and they finally returned to me a POORLY repaired suit that had NOT been sent back to Desoto but improperly repaired by a local tailor. I could have done a better job myself!!
