The shoulder straps on my suit keep on tearing. I blew the first one out last week bending down into position to pull. I had the suit repaired by a seamstress and got it back in time for todays session.

Today I was mid set and on setting for my third rep the other strap failed.

Is there something special I need to use to repair the straps? I love the suit but the straps tearing each time I use it is a major problem.

Has anyone else had this as no one else I have spoken to has ever experienced it.

cheers

Tony

EDIT: the straps are tearing along the join between ther front and rear strap.

I have never heard that the straps go broken, is it the material or the seams which are tearing?

The seams are tearing. I've also never heard of it happening but has now happened to me on two successive sessions.

I've had it repaired again and will be testing it on Saturday. If it goes again I will have to look at getting another suit. Its a shame because the suit seems to work well for me.
