I have a O'neill Gooru top. It tore in a spot and now its a huge hole. Has this happened to anyone else. I wonder if its due to the slick skin material to me the reg material is stronger. But I also think the Gooru is warmer then the reg material.

It's not the Gooru, it's all that beer you drink...the damn top can't stretch any farther.

What difference does it make if its warmer Squid, you wear a drysuit all year anyway!

I have the same suit and have abused it for a few years with no problems. I also use mine inside my 7mm Pinnacle for diving so it sees salt water too. Ask the repair dept what they can/will do for you. Of course you could just buy a new one.

If it is on the seam O'neill will fix it if not its time for a new one. For the record I have never seen one tear before. First the handle now this, do you break everything you own?

Yeah, same thing happened to me. It wasn't on the seam and the rubbery material made is easier to tear once there was a hole. I had to get a new one this year~
