O'Neill Canada / Oceaner Sporting Goods would not fix or replace my 1 year 3 month old Mutant wetsuit which was deteriorating at the left shoulder and cuffs - only 1 year warranty.
Fortunately, Windance and O'Neill USA inspected and replaced my defective 2012 Mutant with the options of the Mutant for free or the Pyrotech for an extra $56.
I chose the 2013 O'Neill Pyrotech F.U.Z.E. 5.5/4mm Hooded Wetsuit. Many thanks to Ginger at Windance for all her help.
... Combining the best materials and most advanced construction in the industry the Pyrotech will maintain your warmth, flexibility and keep you in the water longer. Using their top of the line neoprene, O'Neill built this suit with Technobutter neoprene and their exclusive Technobutter-Air Firewall Insulation. When it comes down to it, O'Neill has been in the water for over 60 years, you can trust they will give you what you need, and in this case, you get a lot more.
TechnoButter Neoprene: The most advanced super stretch neoprene available on the market. 20% lighter, 30% less water absorption with quick dry properties.
F.U.Z.E. Closure System: O'Neill's exclusive Front Upper Zip Entry offers a fresh alternative. Using the same floating zipper technology as our Z.E.N. Zip Closure, the F.U.Z.E Closure keeps your dry without restricting flexibility.
