small cuts on a Bare trilam drysuit

[fengz]

I noticed some small cuts on the back of my Bare trilam HD tech drysuit a few weeks ago. There is no leakage, but I am worried about the cuts getting larger over time and eventually causing leak. Any suggestions on what I should do? Should I have the area patched up? how much would it cost?

Any feedback is appreciated,

Hi Fengz,

Where is this on the suit? You could always have some kevlar reinforcement added to the area. It's something we can do for you, but we would need more details before we could quote it. Then the Kevlar would take the abuse, and not your suit

It is on the back, right below the waist. It covers an area of 3" x 3".

Thanks,

Are you diving a Backplate?

Are you able to send us the suit? The Kevlar is expensive, the whole repair would be $50. That includes the patch and the Kevlar covering an area big enough for no more future issues.

I have a plastic backplate (Zeagle express tech). The cuts were caused by a rock with a lot of sharp tips. I can have the suit ready for repair in January.
