I just got a 5mm Oneflex wetsuit and I found it to be very comfortable with a great fit and no restriction of movement. As I was inspecting it after getting out of the water (as I do with all of my gear) I saw what looked to be like an unusual amount of wear on the shoulders for just one (a couple hours) use.

Is this normal? I assume it may just be an initial outside layer rubbing off as some have said they've dived with their Oneflex for many years. Thanks for the responses it advance.
 
Looks like you might have a VELCRO item causing that abrasion.

That's exactly what it was! Thank you!

Right after I read your comment I went in and put on the BCD with no shirt on and sure enough I felt a harsh rubbing on my lower shoulder because there was excess velcro hanging off the regulator strap.
