I'm beginning to notice a small patch on the back of my wetsuit starting to "pill". I'd imagine something is rubbing up against it, but I haven't the slightest idea what it might be. It seems right were the end of my tank hangs, so perhaps that's it? Does anyone have any experience with this?
 
Do you have a tank mesh protector on your tank? This usually is the cause of this. I also noticed my wetsuit starting to "pill" on my left shoulder. At first, I thought my BC may have been causing this but then realized it's from my carrying the tank up on my left shoulder while wearing my wetsuit!
 
It turned out it was from the rental bc I was using. The velcro pockets wouldn't close properly due to the velcro being somewhat worn out. The rougher side was rubbing on wetsuit sleeves. :upset: I got my own bc shortly after that.

Could the tank boot being rubbing against your suit?
